There are a couple of free fitness websites that I know of to help assist you in any fitness or weight loss goals you may have.
The first of these is Active Trainer. Many people know this site through the Couch to 5K website. This site is a community of people but you can track you own individual progress. Once you join you sign up for goals or just login your workouts. Everytime you make some progress toward your goal, you receive points and badges.
The goals available are: lose weight, run 100 miles, drink 8 glasses of water per day, exercise weekly, exercise monthly, take your vitamins everyday, lax power wall ball challange. You may choose as many, or as few goals, as you like. The more goals you have, the more points you get. So, it benefits you the most to login and update your status daily.
The points are can be used individually or as a team. You can see how many points you have and your rank among all those participating. Each week you start over with zero points as far as ranking goes. When you login to your account you can see how many you have overall.
The other website is My Fitness Pal. This site is similar to the other in that you can track your exercise. However, this website focuses alot more on food.
Once you sign up, it asks you questions like: What is your goal weight? How tall are you? What is your age? What kind of lifestyle do you lead? etc. Then it will come up with what it determines your caloric intake per day should be for you to lose the weight you want to. You then login what you ate into their database. It returns with the nutritional data and tells you what amounts you have available for the rest of the day. When you finish adding your food, it then tell you that "If you continue to eat like this everyday, you will weigh_____ in 5 weeks"
This database of foods you can login is vast. It isn't just foods like apples, pears, ground beef. This database has resteraunt items and packaged food as well.
You do receive credit when you exercise. It will add the calories you burned off to the caloric total you can have for the day.
