I want to see more stats.  I've played games with sometimes thousands of people, and the only stats we get are average progress to goal by demographic.  I want to see more than that.  I want to see who hit goal percentage and pounds lost.  I want to cross reference loss with methods.  I want to see more diet information by anonomized contestant.  I want to know exactly what exersizes are being done and what the daily food intake looks for the guys over 40, greater than 250lbs at start, and whether they are on goal, how many pounds exactly they've lost, how long they've been on dietbet....all of it.

 

I want to see what amazing success looks like vs. success vs. almost success vs. failure.

 

Their is a method that works best.  It's a cop-out to believe "everyone's different" and what works for some won't necessarily work for others.  It's a fact.  Calories Spent > Calories Consumed = Weight Loss.

 

But I want to see time lines.  I want to see body measurement trends.  I want to see daily food logs, exersize routines, heck...even the specific gym people work out at.

 

I think there is a formula, and I think seeing all those stats proving which one works best depending on your starting point could be much more motivational than simply seeing that some percentage of players in your game are doing better than others.
