Weight Loss Software

Hi all,

I'm a 16 stone male and in need of serious help!

I'm looking for some software to help me.

I've used some online services in the past which track your calorie
intake and the nutritional content of your food (eg: protein, carbs,
fibre, fat, etc). They have been good, but an expensive month on month
charge.

I'm looking for some software I can purchase which will do similar.
I'm currently trialling DietPower and WeightByDate.

Both are good, but they are for the US market (ie: their food lists
are the foods commonly found in the US and are measure in pounds,
ounces etc).

I'm wondering if anyone is currently using and can recommend some
similar software. Maybe UK biased, although I have no problems with US
because I can do the conversions happily (I was brought up on pounds
and ounces!).

Thanks for any help and advice.

Cheers,

Mike

I would thoroughly recommend this, too, but I was paying £9 per month
- it's not free, which I think maybe is what the OP is looking for.
The best thing about if for me was its database of all branded UK
foods, which seemed to be regularly updated.

I market a weight management program called "WeightWare"
(http://www.WeightWare.com) that you may find useful.

It's a weight, health, and exercise diary that includes support for
weight expressed in UK units (stone and lbs), in addition to US (lbs)
and metric (kg).

It is not a food diary, but it can tell you your daily "energy balance"
by analyzing your weight changes over time. I find this approach to be
much easier and more accurate than calorie counting, and it keeps the
focus squarely on weight loss (which is the ultimate goal).

You can download a free, fully functional, 30-day trial version from my
website (www.WeightWare.com), to see if it meets your needs.

Hi,

Thanks both.

I am currently using weightlossresources, however at £9 a month I
think it is overpriced for what I want. I really only want the food
database. I don;t need the forums (no offense but they are highly
female orientated, which is fine for you ladies but I don;t have a
chocolate problem )

If I could get the weightlossresources database as standalone software
that would be ideal.

Cheers,
Mike

PS. Just started looking at fitday.com It is very similar to
weightlossresources except it is free

I'm in the UK too, and I recently switched from WLR to Fitday, because
Fitday is free. The main drawback was that at the beginning I had to
enter every single thing I ate as a custom food, because I couldn't
relate at all to their own database of US foods. However, I've now
built up a good customised list of all my regular foods, so inputting
only takes a few seconds. I don't use it to log exercise, etc. though
- just to keep an eye on my calorie intake and for this I find it very
good.

Thanks Gary. Looks useful but it does not have the one feature I want.
I need to be able to enter in the food that I eat and let it track my
calories, protiens, carbs etc. That is the key feature for me.

The is a book with the database in - you could use that in conjunction with
Fitday.
