Daily Plate (Internet calorie counting/exercise logs)
So I've been using this site called DailyPlate.com (my user name is Cremlian) It has a free section and a paid section (I just use the free side) which has a great system for keeping track of your meals and exercise as well as setting goals for how much you want to lose a week based on your intake of calories. The part that is really great, is you can add friends and see what they are eating as well... (which has lead to some creepy conversations the next day, "So how was your veggie Lasagna last night?") Anyhow, anyone else log what they eat and keep track of exercise they do? If so do you use a site or a program and how is it working?
Also another advantage to this site is it's database of foods is pretty good giving you an easier time finding the right figures for the food you eat.

I get most of my exercise escaping from predators. It's kinda hard to keep track of how many miles I run when I'm trying to "serpentine".
* Mon: bike 10 miles
* Tue: bike 10 miles
* Wed: bike 10 miles
* Thu: bike 10 miles
* Fri: bike 10 miles
* Sat: maybe bike, maybe nothing.
* Sun: maybe bike, maybe nothing.
Mon: Shoulders bi/triceps (circuit training, three circuits three times each, so approx 90 reps per muscle group) then the P90x ab workout.
Tue: Jogging and Systema style workout focusing on tendon strength, flexibility and endurance.
Wed: Chest and back (circuit training, same type of setup as the other one) then the ab workout.
Thu: Jogging/Systema workout.
Fri: Shoulder bi/tricep workout again, ab workout.
Sat: Jogging/Systema.
Sun: Chest and back, abs.
It pretty much just follows the first four days in a cycle. Yay for preparing for the forces, I've been doing this for about a year now.
I don't really have a schedule, but I walk and run, from time to time, practice parkour as best I can around here, work on martial arts from time to time. Nothing to serious, but I keep fit enough.
With that attitude, you will never be anything like these people.
I'm buying a serious hardtail XC bike this summer and getting my road and mountain biking on.
I take in a good 4000-5000 calories a day in the summer.
EDIT: And now I'm hungry...
Too bad the rest of the night went to shit.
I haven't weighed myself since I clocked in at 245 around Christmas. We'll see what I weigh when I finish my half-marathon training either this week or next.
I'ma give this a go and see if it's useful for me or not. Maybe use it to plan my diet a bit more and all that.
EDIT: Seems like a handy tool. I'll be playing with this more.
