    Great food database and helpful forum with lots of knowledgeable members as long as you are willing to listen to the feedback if you ask for it.

    Agreed! This website has so much valuable information about fitness from wonderful people that are there to motivate and support you. Plus, I like that you have a sense of accountability on this website (i.e. you know if you ate too much or need to exercise more).

    the people... sure a few can be jerks... a lot really, but their are those who really want to help you on your journey. They make the others seem to be grains of sand, nothing more

    i would say the best thing about this site is the people and the information. There are a lot of people here that have the same goal as everyone else who are willing to help. there are also people that have completed their goal who stay on to help others reach theirs. That is what I like about this site.

    My favorite part is the app. I can access it on my phone and log my food whenever wherever. There's great support and it shows you how much water you drink and you can add categories for calorie free drinks too.

    When my kids were little i use to put them in a pram and go walking.Makes it easier and they sleep while you walking.Once i got fitter i use to start running alittle.Walk a power pole and then run.Not so daunting as running all the time.
