Is it possible to change your username? I didn't realize my username would be visible to everybody (I thought I could pick a display name for forums and the like). I don't like having my full name as my username- privacy and all that- and I'd prefer not to delete my account or lose my info. I've been all over the website and can't find how to do that.
In case anyone from the company reads this, is it possible to change my username to something like Lisssssa?
Thanks!

There are in fact a very limited set of circumstances in which a name change can now be granted, such as when privacy concerns arise. This appears to be one of those times.
Please send a handle change request through the Contact FitDay link at the bottom of the page ([email protected]). It may take a couple of weeks, as it has to be done by a technician and in two databases.
And for future reference, accounts can be disabled upon request to the same email address, and it also takes some time to go info effect.

Thank you very much Paul! It might be easier to do it the way other sites do it- like FatSecret- they tell you when you create your username that other people will be able to see it.
I sent a request through the link. Thanks again!

I was actually going to inquire about this subject... I didn't realize when creating this account that I would not have an option to change my user name. I regret not thinking deeper on a different user name when i started up the account. I really don't want my name out there... I actually would like to change my user name to ~IceBlue~ if that is possible. If not.. .no worries...

When a person posts to this thread, they have not read Paul's instructions, obviously. To help them out, I am sending them this PM entitled "Username":
