tools for tracking weightloss

by OALA
Published Jul. 1, 2008

I came across this the other day while looking for tools to aid me in my weight loss goals.  I have already started using it and will keep you posted in my progress.  For those of you who choose to use it, let me know what you think.  It is in excel and you just insert your numbers into the spaces, keeping in mind you should weigh yourself daily at the same time everyday- but not stress about the numbers, it is only for charting purposes. Here are the two sites I found extremely helpful.
On the first site, calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate) and calculate your activity levels.  On the second site, download the weight-tracker.xls , and replace the data that is on it, with your own data...  If you have any questions on how to do it, let me know and I will help you as best as I can! 
I hope you find it useful!

I used http://www.fitday.com/ for a while. You can track your weight, set goals, and keep up with your food intake. I personally find it too time consuming to do online, but if you like that approach, check it out!

I just joined the dailyplate.com

Looks to be a great website!

bosoxbaby - I hear ya and congrats on what you've lost!

Trick for those "munchies"? eat foods high in protein and high in fiber. Both fill you up faster so you eat less of it, plus they keep you filled longer so you snack less. This has worked very well for me in my adventures.

The daily plate.com is also a good tool to help you with keeping track of what you are eating, etc. I use it to keep track of my fat/ protein/ fiber/ sugars. I don't normally consume more then 1300 to 1500 calories, so that part I'm not worried about.

losing weight is soooo hard and frustrating!!! I've lost almost 20 lbs in 6 months (thyroid issues and diabetic so that's good). However, at certain times of the month I could eat a mule I'm so hungry and it doesn't matter how much fiber or carbs I have!!! I'm experiencing this now. It drives me nuts.

I don't wear a belt... so that doesn't really help me- and if I bought my husband a new larger belt, he wouldn't know, so he would think he is losing weight... but he isn't.

I use a tried and true weight loss measuring tool....

Belt notches.....When I have more empty holes near the belt tongue, I've lost weight.....
