Well, hopefully we've done enough testing on the progress tracker and have found & fixed the majority of blips & bugs 
The tracker is now live for use by all members!
The link can be found on the 'user menu' to the left, though I may add it to the top grey bar too.
If you find any bugs or typos please let me know and I'll do my best to fix them
Enjoy!
PS: in conjunction with the launch of the tracker I will be removing a few of the profile fields - start date, weight loss etc in favour of it being displayed directly from the tracker data (if selected in your tracker settings).

UPDATE: 8th February 2013
Actually there have been updates prior to this as mentioned in this topic, generally to the forum stats page.
Todays update however pertains to users who prefer Imperial measurements. I've made some adjustments today to allow for 'decimal pounds' - that is to say, you can now enter your loss in terms of points of pounds, eg, 0.5 lbs, 1.3 lbs and so on.
Hopefully I've got it all working right but please do let me know if you encounter any oddities! There's only so much testing I can do

UPDATE: 28th January 2013
Please note that a small blip has been noted with the tracker for some users trying to get their stats to display beneath their name/avatar on their posts. If you have selected to display these but they are not showing up, you probably joined after the tracker went live (10am Jan 25th) and before tonight (10.30pm Jan 28th). Long story short, it's to do with my having removed the old profile fields (as noted above) and it means I have had to add a new field to ensure the forum system preps your account to display the data.
There is now a 'gender' field on your profile options (see your user control panel), which you will need to complete (there is an option not to specify) before your tracker data shows up. Once you've completed the gender field, please go back to your tracker and this should cause the stats to update onto your profile.
All new members from tonight will be presened with this field on registration and will therefore avoid the tracker display bug (I think!).
Note - It didn't have to be gender, I could have added any field... but it's late and it's the only thing that came to mind which everyone would have an answer for!
