One of the best online sites for dieting has to be Spark People.
It's free and meant to give you support, advice, and perhaps most importantly tools to track your nutrition and exercise.
A key part is the community.
You can plug in with others who share your goals on Spark Teams.
They're organized around common interests, even local cities and towns.
A key to losing weight is writing down everything you eat.
Calorie King may be the best for that.
Alas, this one is a membership site.
They charge $74 a year, but it has a terrific database of foods, listing calories, and nutritional values, as well as exercised and how much they'll burn.
They also offer online training in controlling your eating and helping get the best plan for you.
For fitness, my favorite site is FitDay.
Its online services are free too.
On FitDay you keep a diary of your food and exercise and it analyzes the information and lets you instantly see how you're doing that day in reaching your goals.
Finally, for real incentive try this: For $25 the Fit Pics website lets you mail in a fat "before" picture of you.
Then it sends you back a picture of what you'll look like after you lose the weight.
How's that for motivation?
