Reading the site it seems like it's mostly aimed at weight loss, but I didn't see anywhere where it came out and said it directly. You could officially brand yourselves as a weight loss site. But it probably makes sense to just emphasize other goals more in your examples.

Looking just at the main page it wasn't at all clear what you do. I think your graphs are awesome, but it took me a lot of looking through your site to understand them. Some introductory text and images would help more than bring able to see all 20 graphs. Potentially a smaller number of well chosen, well named, larger graphs.

Really appreciate this feedback from everyone! Some incredibly valuable suggestions, including this one.

Weight loss, yeah, we've gone through some identity crises, wondering if we should really focus on weight loss since it can be hard trying to be too general. So far we're sticking with generality, which seems like a good choice for the current influx from LessWrong, which are mostly Do More -- though plenty of weight loss goals too.
