Fitocracy Catch-All

Pages

I didn't see a thread for this yet, and I think it's worth having one. It's been mentioned on the the podcast, and there are a fair number of us doing it already.

If you're the sort of gamer who really likes gaining levels, getting achievements, or is overcome with the compulsion to beat a friend's score in multiplayer, this seems to be a fantastic way to get motivated!

Currently in Beta, but a simple Google search will yield a lot of ways to get in.

Fitocracy

I got in a while ago thanks to Floomi but I haven't been able to workout for a couple months because of a back injury. Now that I'm able to workout again without ending up in severe pain I'm looking to grind some levels. I was glad to see that there's a GWJ group now so that maybe I can feel guilty if I don't do anything.

I still have ten invites if anybody needs in.

I'd like an invite.

Didn't Penny Arcade make fun of this a while back?

Yup.

I was curious about this too. I'd like an invite if there are any to spare.

What the hell, I'll take an invite.

It's a neat idea. I still need to hook it into runkeeper.

If folk are still needing invites, PM me your email. I haven't seen anything about me having a finite number of them, and I'm happy to fire off as many as it'll let me.

Wait, this works with Runkeeper?

Eeeenteresting. I may have to give it a shot.

I was on this for a while, but no one else I knew was and so I lost interest. Achievements are cool and all, but with them just sitting in the drawer, as it were, I'd rather go for real achievements like lifting more weight. PM me if you want an invite.

I may have to look into this. I'm pretty terrible at keeping to a regular exercise schedule. Maybe some peer pressure will help

I have a few invites as well. Be sure to join the group. Having others in the group makes it a lot more compelling.

I just made an account yesterday (they link to invite codes in their Twitter feed). I like it better than Livestrong for some reason; not sure why yet.

GWJ group

I was actually a very active user of another fitness site (DailyBurn) upto about 18 months back. Like iaintgotnopants, I stopped being active as my back condition became worse. Of course, putting on weight doesn't help with the back problem.

I think I've spent enough time using the back problem as an excuse, so am finally starting to cut down on my eating. Since you all having been talking up this site, I've signed up as well (thanks strangeblades!).

Looking forward to seeing you all whip my fat ass at earning points/achievements (also, this is why I play single player, offline only )

Looks like fun. Can someone send me an invite code.

I could use one as well. Got to get rid of this disgusting belly.

Invites sent.

Thanks. I'm a bit frustrated that half the stuff I really like doing isn't on the list. Serves me right for having a bizarre/nonconformist workout.

Wow. It looks like we got some monster weight lifters in this group. Props!

I've found a few surprisingly basic omissions too. Seems odd that they didn't get a much larger list...

Doesn't mean your workout isn't bizarre of course!

Provide feedback on their forums - they're responsive, and will hopefully be able to add exercises for you.

Bear in mind that this is still beta, so they're actively adding stuff by request.

I have the gamers with jobs group I had no clue there was a GWJ group already. The only members are me and evilhomer so I'll join the big group and shut mine down.

Trying to figure out how to log my bizarre cable workout.

10am -- Woke-up. Turned on TV. Jerry Springer always makes me happy.
11am -- Switched over to the Military Channel. 'Weaponology' had just started. Masturbated.
12pm -- Lunch
12:30pm -- Caught the last half-hour of 'Latest Ridiculous Conspiracy Theories Masquerading as Science' on the History Channel.
1pm -- Realised wife won't be home for another three hours, so can indulge in my secret shame. Switched to the Lifetime channel.
4pm -- Wife arrives home. Switch to MMA re-run just in time.
4:30pm -- Make mental note to check wife's mood before turning on MMA, as it just inspired her as she beat me.
5pm -- Settle in for evening of America's Funniest Home Videos marathon.

Sorry, my dyslexia keeps reading this thread as "Fartocracy", so I had to post something in here.

I now return you to your regular unscheduled thread.

How do I get a username? It seems like I need an invite to be able to do anything?

Sorry I'm an idiot. Pm me an email address and I'll send you an invite.

Edit: Or use Floomi's link
