I can't take any credit at all for the information I'm about to give you, because a friend of mine alerted me to this site.
When we began Augusta's Biggest Loser, we were asking about the body bugg that they use on the TV show "The Biggest Loser". Turns out the body buggs are quite expensive, and you have to pay a subscription fee to upload your data to their website. My friend Eric alerted me to a site that he has been using in his weight loss journey, and it has a lot of great features. The site is www.fitday.com, and with nothing more than signing up, you get the ability to do the following:
* Track your food intake each day, broken down by calories, fat, carbohydrates, and protein
* Track your daily nutrients according to percentage of recommended daily allowance
* Track your progress through a journal, weight chart, and other means
* Add custom foods to the database simply by typing in the nutrition panel contents
* Input your exercise and see roughly how many calories you are burning each day
* Record your measurements (waist, arms, etc.) and track your inches lost
Basically, it's a poor man's "body bugg". The online version is completely free (although missing a few advanced reports that are only available in the paid version); for $20, you can download the software to your computer instead of using it online. All you have to do is create a username, a password, and give them an e-mail address. I have begun using it myself, and I absolutely love it. Eric asked me to take a look at what he had done, and I was able to immediately identify a couple of potential problem areas for him.
