Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mi Success and what is it for?

Mi Success is a web based community that supports and encourages individuals and groups to achieve their weight loss and fitness goals.  By allowing the recording and tracking of Weightloss, Body Transformation and Performance results it allows members to get an 'at a glance' view of their progress at any time. 

Mi Success Challenge Groups are a great way to motivate and encourage - groups of members can get together and take part in friendly competition. 

Let's face it, getting fitter can be hard and it's good to have support from friends!

Who can use Mi Success? 

Lots of people!  Individuals who are trying to loose weight or get fit will find it's a great way to track progress, get support and encouragement and more.  Members who want to get together with other like minded individuals can set up Challenge Groups and run friendly competitions to see who can get the best results.

Personal trainers and gym instructors can also use Mi Success to set up groups of clients.  As training professionals, they can measure and enter results on behalf of their clients who can then see their own progress.

Are my results secure? After all, it's personal data I'm storing.

Mi Success uses SSL encryption (like all the major banks do) to make sure your results cannot be read by anyone else.  In addition, your results are stored on secure servers in a managed environment that is protected from outside access at all times.  Your results can only be read by using your unique username and password and this is also encrypted - even here at Mi Success we cannot tell you what your password is!  If you forget it, we can issue a new one for you but we can never know what your password is.

Also, you are only identified by your screen name so no-one will know who you are.  Of course, you may choose to tell people your real identity but that is your choice.

What about my credit card details?  I'm always hearing about web sites loosing their customer's details.

That is exactly why we don't store your credit card details.  Each time you renew your subscription, we ask you to enter your credit card details.  These are then used to make your payment via our bank.  At no stage do we store your credit card details.  This means they can never be compromised when using our services.

Is it expensive to join?

Mi Success is great value at $2 a week.  We think it's great value and are confident you will too.

Why don't the Charts show all of the results?

It's simply a matter of size.  If too many results are shown graphically then it becomes difficult to 'read' the charts and makes then less useful. 

If you want to see look at all of your results then they can be found in the tables on the results pages.

How do I measure myself to enter new results?

Well, there are a few options.  The most important thing though is to ensure that you are consistent each time or your results won't be accurate.  For example, measure your waist in the same spot each time and using the same position e.g. standing up straight.

Why can't I enter new results?

If you are unable to add new group results it is probably because the Challenge Group is no longer active (shows as INACTIVE in the Challenge Group selection list.  Alternatively, it could be because you are no longer an active member of that group. Finally, if you are a member of a Managed Challenge Group then the group manager is responsible for entering results.

I'm doing Body Transformation but I don't know how to measure my body fat %

Mi Success doesn't require you to enter values in all of the results fields so you can omit it.  There are some options with body fat though depending on your preferences.  For example, electronic bathroom scales that measure body fat are much more available and less expensive than a few years ago.  If you don't want to do that, perhaps your local pharmacist has the facility to measure body fat for you, or your local gym.

I have some ideas to improve Mi Success.  Are you interested?

Yes, of course!  Mi Success is all about it's members and we intend to continue to change our services and the way the site works to meet the needs of our customers.  Simply use the Make a Suggestion menu option to contact us with your ideas.  For example, if enough members tell us they would like to be able to access a personal fitness calendar online, then we will incorporate this into Mi Success.
