Progress bars = powerful tools for enhancing user engagement and motivation. 🔹The Zeigarnik Effect suggests that people remember uncompleted or interrupted tasks better than completed ones. A progress bar visually represents an incomplete task, encouraging users to complete it.  🔹The Goal Gradient Effect suggests that people tend to work harder as they perceive they are closer to achieving a goal. A progress bar visually indicates proximity to task completion, increasing motivation as users get closer to 100%.  🔹The Endowment Effect suggests that Progress bars can give a sense of ownership or accomplishment, even with partial completion, motivating users to continue. We recently launched a progress bar in the MyFitnessPal app. It helps members build better food habits that support their desired outcomes by giving them a score (shown visually as a smiley face) that's calculated from logging activities. Recommended focus areas change daily to provide gamification and help people identify new nutrient goals!

🎉 We’re so excited to continue our Employee Spotlight series! Stay tuned as we shine a light on the incredible people behind MyFitnessPal who help our community thrive.💙 Shannon Chapman, VP of Human Resources, is originally from Iowa but now lives in Kansas and has been with the company for over 3 years. Q: What is one tip you'd give to women looking to begin a fitness journey? A: For me losing weight and getting healthy seemed very intimidating and so far out of reach. I had gone a while without a daily exercise regime. But I knew it was time to start feeling better about myself so I made it simple and decided to begin with a walk around my neighborhood which led to a walk the next day and the next until I started to crave it. A quote that helped me to start moving was “The secret to getting ahead is getting started” by Mark Twain. In other words, get started and keep it simple at first! You will gradually begin to challenge yourself more. Q: What is one change you'd like to see in the nutrition and fitness space for women specifically? A: I often come across the saying “Work out because you love your body, not because you hate it,” and I wish this mindset was more common. I’d love to see a shift from quick-fix solutions toward a more comprehensive approach that emphasizes overall well-being. There should be a larger focus on both physical and mental health, being able to see things with a wider lens we can begin to cultivate a more balanced, long-lasting relationship with nutrition and exercise. Q: What’s your favorite part about working for MFP? A: As an HR leader, fostering a culture that aligns with MyFitnessPal's health and wellness mission is deeply fulfilling, as the company’s purpose of helping people lead healthier lives creates a strong sense of motivation and engagement across the workforce. Additionally, MyFitnessPal's focus on well-being, innovation, and personal health attracts and retains employees who are passionate about these values, making it rewarding to build and sustain a purpose-driven, highly engaged team. Q: Go-to workout? A: Walking 100% !!!
