Livestrong

As I have mentioned before ... my whole weight loss journey started with a chance stumbling upon a wonderful website called Livestrong.com

It's a sister site to Lance Armstrong's Livestrong.org ... the site set up by his foundation to support cancer victims and survivors. Whatever you think about Lance BOTH these sites are worthy and worth a visit, and for those who are struggling with weight issues or other health related issues or for people who just want to live and eat healthier, I cannot suggest strongly enough to go and immediately sign up on Livestrong and start tracking your calories.

It's FREE ... there is no obligation and the tools and support they offer are INVALUABLE to both help you LOSE the weight but also to KEEP it off. If you decide to join, again there is NO obligation, you get access to a few more fun tools but they are not necessary for you to be successful and the cost to go gold is a FRACTION of what other diet sites may charge you MONTHLY. For instance the cheapest WW plan online worked out to over $60 a MONTH or $85 for 3 months ... Livestrong Gold membership is only $45 ish for a YEAR but like I said ... you do not have to be a paying member, ALL of the most important tools are at your fingertips for no charge.

If you're curious you can go check out my daily food diary found HERE . I track my food daily and I am quite meticulous about it. If you have any questions you can just ask and I'll be happy to help you get started. I also have many of my most favourite recipes listed on the site including nutritional information as do thousands of other members so it's a great place to search for low cal healthy meal alternatives.

Yeah I know this is a shameless plug for a website but it saved my life ... it could save yours too.
