It seems like that time of year when lots of folks have made up their minds to lose that weight. Me, on the other hand -- I just hit my personal weight loss goal a week ago, having started back in May.

I mentioned something to chad360 about the web tools that I use, and he suggested that the olybloggers might be interested. :)

So, here goes.

• PhysicsDiet.com: I weigh myself every day, and record my weight and body fat here. The site does the math to get a moving average, which is nice because it smooths out the day-to-day fluctuations. The forum is pretty nice, too. Interestingly, it seems to attract more guys than the average weight-loss group. I think it's the nerd factor.
• The Daily Plate: for obsessive-compulsive calorie counting. I lost weight by eating less food and getting more exercise; counting calories helps with the "eating less food" part. I just discovered this site a few days ago, but I'm really happy with it.
• We Endure: for the "get more exercise" part. My main disappointment here is that it doesn't list walking as one of the trackable exercises. I just using "running" and tag those with "walk." When the light comes back, I'm going to be all about biking again anyway.
• Joe's Goals: for some more general goal tracking. I'm tracking a few things that have nothing to do with weight, but also whether I drink soda (bad!) or eat before 10 am (good!).
• Not a web app, but I highly recommend The Hacker's Diet -- totally nerd-tastic, written by one of the main programmers of AutoCAD 10 years ago, and very sensible.

Losing weight in 2007 has been a life-changing experience, so I hope this is helpful to at least one person out there in olyblog-land.
