This program has actually helped me. Before I started, I thought I
was exercising regularly. I really did. But after actually tracking it, and getting starts for it (stars! How quaint! How... 1st Grade.) I found that was rarely actually getting stars. Seems I was good at finding excuses to blow off a day here or there during the week. Didn't seem like it was as often as I was really doing it, though, but the stars don't lie. It caused me to focus on what I was *really* doing, and make some changes. I've gotten full stars for 8 or 9 weeks running now. I don't know that I would be at the activity level I am were it not for this program. And it seems that the program was originally started in 1966. http://www.fitness.gov/challenge/challenge.html . This means that it was started under President Lyndon Johnson (D). It was updated in 2003 by yes, President Bush (R). http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/fs071803.htm . Frankly, it could have been started by some whacky third party guy, for all I care. This really is more about helping to motivate people to exercise, which is a good thing, than it is about politics. -- Annie As of 9-30-05: 258/209/140 Standing at 5 foot 4. 49 pounds lost. 69 left to go.

I use Fitday to journal food and exercise and CycliStats to track my biking. Just too many places to keep records G Beverly |
