BACKGROUND |
Through our exclusive diet matching system we enable you to meet others who have similar weight loss goals AND personal interests!
We screen many "member profiles" to bring you only the ones that have the potential to be truly right for you. Whether you prefer to follow a diet like Weight Watchers, Atkins, South Beach, or some other type of diet, our specialized system is able to match you with like-minded members. Our proprietary matching system even takes into account special dietary needs such as diabetes, low sodium, Kosher and many other considerations. The results are matches unlike anything you will find anywhere else.

GET STARTED BY CREATING
YOUR OWN MEMBER PROFILE |
|
First, we ask that you provide some
information about your diet and personal interests by making selections
from the list we provide.
Select Your Meal Plan -
Select the plan that you want to appear in your member profile from the list provided. The
meal plan list is updated periodically with new choices.
Select Your Personal Characteristics - Select
the information that you want to appear in your member profile, such as gender,
age, weight loss goal, and any other information that you feel is important. Be sure to include a brief description about yourself (any information you care
to share about past dieting struggles, dieting experience, and/or some of
your particular likes and dislikes).
Note: You can return to Your
Member Profile at any time to change the information. The information is automatically updated in our
database after each change.

SELECTING THE
SEARCH CRITERIA FOR
FINDING OTHER MEMBERS |
Next, we ask that you provide some information about the diet and personal
characteristics of the members you want to find by making
selections from the list we provide.
The number of matches in your search results will depend on the search characteristics you specify.
More matches result by selecting fewer characteristics. For example, checking only the "Meal
Plan" box will
find all the members in our database who have the same plan checked in their profile
as you.
Fewer matches result
by selecting multiple characteristics and/or those that are less common (further down the
list). For example, checking the "Meal Plan" and "Kosher" boxes will find
members who have the same meal plan checked in their profile as you and also indicated the same
Kosher status as you.
Note: Information in the Search Member Profile can be
changed at any time and a new search initiated. This information is not stored in our
database. There is no limit set on the number of searches that you may perform (you may find this feature
useful when trying to broaden or narrow a search for other members).
Clicking the "Submit" button at the bottom of the Search Member Profile page initiates the search.

|
RECEIVING YOUR LIST OF MEMBER MATCHES |
|
After your search is submitted, WEIGHT LOSS WARRIORS™ will find other members who match the
meal plan and personal characteristics you
have specified.
The list of member matches and information about each member is displayed on your computer.
For your security, personal contact information is kept confidential at this point. |
|
SELECTING YOUR WEIGHT LOSS PARTNERS |
|
Next, you are asked to carefully review the detailed information about each member
in your match list, and to choose the members who meet your "partner" qualifications.
If you desire to partner with a member simply click on the "Invite
Member to Partner" button next to the members name. An email "invitation" will be automatically sent to the member you selected. For your security, personal contact information is kept confidential at this point.
|
|
PARTNER CONFIRMATION |
|
If the
member you invite to partner accepts your invitation, you will be sent a confirmation by email. Included in your confirmation will be the members email address. Direct emails can
now be
exchanged between you and your new partner.
Note:
The number of partnerships you choose to form is unlimited. You can elect to stop receiving emails from other members who are seeking new partners, at any time (see Member Utilities).
Note: A non-response to a partner invitation is considered a rejection 72 hours after the invitation is sent. This concludes the partnership attempt.
