Maybe this doesn't seem that special, but I know that there are plenty of websites and program that charge for exactly the same service, so I was surprised and pleased whne I stumbled across this one!
www.sparkpeople.com helps you to calculate how much you should eat and how much exercise you need to do to reach your target weight. You can also record everything you eat and the calorie content will be calculated automatically, so that you can keep track on how much of your daily intake you have had. You also record your exercise and weight and other meassurements, which it will analyse and transform into charts and diagrams of your progress!
There's an online commuinty if you feel that you need support from others trying to loose weight and also lots of useful menu suggestions and recepies ets, in other words an excellent service, especially given that it's free!
I have never tried to loose weight in an organised fashion like this before, but it has really helped motivate me, so if anyone else is doing the usual January fitness drive, then I'm sure you will find this site as useful as I have!

Looks good, can you tell me your username so I can say who recomended me. Dont hink I need it, or if you get any benefit, but they ask.

The only problem is that they overdo the emails and I keep spamming them and yet they still get through!

I'm using http://www.foodfocus.co.uk as recommended by someone on here. I does basically what the website in the original post does, but I don't think there is a forum/community. On the other hand there isn't any spam either.

These website are excellent tools to keep you motivated and keep a note of exactly how much you eat.

I use foodfocus too, and it is brilliant. :beer:

I will give the other one a try as well though, thanks for the tip.

Sorry, I haven't logged on for a while, so didn't see your post - hope you got on ok anyway? Guess it's a bit late to give you my user name now...
You can change your settings and tell it not to send any emails at all, but if there's other free sites that do the job just as well, then go for it!
I'm just really happy I found this one - I don't care about all the emails, I have already lost 6 pound thanks to the site, so I think it's well worth it! Some of the emails are actually interesting & the rest I just delete!

Well food focus seems to not be wokring at the moment so I'll register with SparkPeople.

Thanks for the 'heads up' ernie-money :T
