You are worthy of treating yourself well, starting with what you eat. With Shape, build awareness of what and why you eat through a lens of self-compassion. Steeped in this awareness, nourish and respect your body through the foods you choose daily. Healthy eating becomes a significant act of self-care. But we know reshaping your life is more complex than just a simple choice. Grounded in behavior science, Shape is an app — like a coach you carry in your pocket — that teaches you ways to add more nutritious foods to your meals and helps you develop strategies to improve your eating habits. We guide you through making adjustments to your routines so that eating well becomes easy. It’s not about restricting foods or counting calories to achieve a weight loss goal. Instead, explore your relationship around the food you eat so you can make informed decisions about your choices. You are constantly evolving; it’s time to open the door of possibilities with Shape. Anchor Your Awareness Grow your awareness about your eating patterns through simple keystone habits. Recognize how various foods make you feel with mindful eating exercises. Reconnect with the essential flavors of foods to appreciate each meal you eat. Learn ways to encourage yourself to eat more healthy, nutritious food. Listen to Your Body Understand your body’s cues of hunger and satiety so you can respect how much (and what!) your body needs to eat in order to feel your best. Move in ways that you love in order to support both your physical and mental well-being. Nourish Yourself Wisely Discover the core pillars of nutrition. Eat in ways that nurture who you truly are. Take a holistic approach to your health, starting with what you eat but also by finding ways to move every day, practicing self-compassion, improving your sleep habits, being mindful, and nurturing your connections with others. Reach your goals — whether you want to lose weight, stay active as you age, manage emotional eating, or more — by making small, sustainable changes to your habits and routines. Shape is from the creators of Fabulous, an award-winning app featured on Lifehacker, the New York Times, Self, Forbes, GirlBoss, and more. We’ve already helped millions of people worldwide achieve their goals through the power of habits and routines. We understand that change is made through small, repeated actions taken over time. Now we are helping people adjust how they approach their health. By using behavior science, it becomes impossible not to succeed! Eating “perfectly” is impossible. Instead, learn to make conscious, proactive choices toward your health. We guide you on your journey toward nourishing yourself wisely with: – Coaching series: Topics like managing stress eating, dealing with cravings, cultivating gratitude for your food, and more. Get a boost of support through difficult moments and inspiration to keep on track. – Journeys: Step-by-step guides to establish food and health habits (and break unhelpful ones) that help you reach your goals. – Food tracker and journal: Stay accountable for your choices and identify patterns. Explore your relationship with food and shed light on what’s supporting your well-being and what needs to change. Appreciate the variety and beauty of the foods you eat. Go beyond healthy eating: replace judgment with curiosity and exchange comparison for compassion. You do not need to be a certain weight or have a certain body type to deserve self-kindness. You already have a body to treasure. Eat well, but not to become worthy. Because you are already worthy, choose to eat well. ------- Read our full terms and conditions and our privacy policy at: https://www.thefabulous.co/terms.html

Good app - and just a few additions would make it great

I like that the set up of this app is like the Fabulous app! I just wish that there was more upfront education in the first few days with how to build a healthy plate. I’m assuming this will come later in the process of building simple habits. But deciding if something is “healthy” or not can be really vague based on a person’s preconceived ideas of what that is. I’d also like it if you could add multiple photos for each meal on the food journaling (instead of just one each). Lastly, there are buttons at the top for “track exercise” and “check weight”/ but when you click on them, it just opens up a notes page to jot things down. I’d love it if there was a structured form to fill and then save just like with the food journal.

I was very excited about this app as i love fabulous and the format it is in. Off the bat i loved how similar shape is. I want to love this app so bad but quickly I found a few frustrating factors. 1. You can’t edit your daily log. I often found myself accidentally adding a meal as the wrong type or not finishing the entry before it would save. There is no way to edit or delete entry’s. 2. If you are looking for weight loss just know that this model is intuitive eating. There is no tracking of any real nutrients, calories or macros. (Which i am fine with but did not know before hand) 3. The price is high for what you get. The price for fabulous is definitely worth it seeing that the features it provides are quite extensive. Shape however does not have near the amount of features or functionalities and they are asking for the same price. The two apps are not as connected as they seem and require two different subscriptions. I wish the food log feature was simply added into the fabulous app even if they had to raise the price of fabulous. I think that would be way more valuable to more people. I really hope to try the app again later and see some updates and changes!

App Doesn't Work. Highway Robbery.

This app feels like I got robbed. It just doesn't work. I was dedicated to MyFabulous and thought this would be a great addition, but when I immediately downloaded I learned the app was barely functional and the devs just didn't care about it. I had signed up in a weird way do it renewed the sub after trial period, I reached out within minutes of renewal to cancel. The people at this "self help" app literally did not respond even after contacting them in several ways, eventually after reaching support they told me there is no way they could offer a refund. My name on this app is "PLEASE CANCEL" and I can't even change that. So every time I open to see if they actually made it functional I'm reminded how I was essentially robbed by this company. I cancelled MyFabulous bc I had such horrible customer Service from this app. There are MANY competing health / diet apps on here that far exceed this one and for less cost. This app has not changed or been updated since last year and is very bare bones. It is not motivating and actually promotes disordered eating. It's just not worth it. Really disappointed with dev response, this company is a money grab and trust there is no one who cares about the consumer experience on the other end.

Requires new membership, but still asks you to sign in to Fabulous

This new app seems like a great idea! I love what the Fabulous team have been doing, so when I saw this app advertised in my Fabulous app, I decided to check it out! My one problem is this app asks you to sign in to your Fabulous account, but requires a new membership. The two apps seem so interconnected that I assumed the Fabulous membership would transfer over/ cover this too. Unfortunately, that is not the case. If you are willing to pay $200+ per year, which is indeed quite cheap for these types of services, having both apps is the way to go. If you are on a budget, I think it may be better to just stick with the regular Fabulous!

Developer Response
Thank you for sharing this feedback. We are happy to count you among our Fabulous loyal members.Related to the price, the two Apps are two separate products, requiring distinct R&D, content creation and teams working behind it. Having a long term approach in the development of our Apps, we could not offer a bundle option.Feel free to share, upvote any feedback on our User Feedback page: tinyurl.com/shapebyfabShape Support team
