Traineo is a health and fitness support site and is free to join. The idea behind Traineo is for you to recruit four friends or family members to become your “Traineo motivators”. Your Traineo movitators will receive weekly email updates on your progress towards your weight loss goals. Instead of inputting how many grams of cheese you ate or how much creamer you put in your coffee this morning, Traineo allows users to estimate how much they think they ate each day. Based on age, weight, and weight loss goals, Traineo will tell you how many calories you should aim for and, at the end of the day, you tell the program if you ate poor, average, fair, or great. The Traineo software is easy to use and allows you to chose what you’d like Traineo to report to your motivators so they can give you customized motivation, support, and the accountability you need to achieve your weight loss goals. You will receive your own personal page and be granted access to other members in the Traineo community. You are also able to keep track of your diet and the number of calories you burn at the gym with the Traineo software.
