Weightloss websites

**mvanhara** · November 19th, 2009, 03:44 PM

Can any of you guys recommend a good website (that is free), that has features like calorie counters, weight trackers, food diaries, calculators for calories burned, bmi calculators, etc.... I love this website, but I would like to join another site where I can keep track of my day to day eating habits and whatnot. Thanks!!!

I use Sparkpeople.com - it is free and you can track calories, water intake, exercise (calculates calories burned), etc. I use it daily as my food and exercise journal. It will also calculate how many calories you need per day to get to your goal weight and has great info, recipes, tips and support groups.

I used to use Sparkpeople.com. I know some people that use The Daily Plate
and I think there is a calorie counter and other features on the LiveStrong website

Thanks!! I'll give it a try. It sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.

I use Fitday.com, it even has all these graphs and such to compare daily activities and foods. I like it better than sparkpeople.com.

I've tried sparkpeople and I don't like it. It takes too much time to log all your food and there is so much other stuff it just seems to get complicated to me. I also don't like their forums, they're no where near as nice as this one and this is easy too.

I wanted to log my food too but just a list of what I ate and the ability to look up the calories if I don't know them already. I do this at home with a notebook and use labels for calorie counts. On there you have to look up everything and you can't just log it like a journal and some of the calorie amounts are posted by other users so they're not really accurate. I've looked up food I have right in front of me and the amount they give is different from the label I have. I don't trust it. If anyone finds anything like what I'm talking about please send me a PM on it. I really just want a place to list everything so everyone can see and note if I could/should change. No one can see my journal on sparkpoints so not much of a reason to list it, it's easier to do it on paper at home.

We should all create our own website! I wish I knew how and had the money lol.

do you use the free version, or do you pay for a membership?

The free version works just fine.. no need to waste money on the fancy stuff!

I have a iphone and use a app called Lose It. It is really neat. It keeps track of food,exercise and your weight. It will ever tell you how many calories you can have for the weightloss you want for a week.

That sounds neat! I have the t-mobile G1 android and was looking for an app for it so i have something in my pocket to track/journal where ever i go. But since I didn't find one I'm going to check out the sites listed above.
