My DH has been trying to lose weight since our last trip back to the states (he always overdoes it whenever we go) I found the 'my fitness pal' app for him. Not sure if it's been mentioned in the thread yet, it's free and really great for if you have an iphone (not sure about other smartphones), they have a website too, but it's really handy to have it on the phone with you all the time. I've been using it as well, mainly to track my nutritional intake vs. my calories. It can also credit you for activity that you do, like cooking and cleaning or walking.

Sadly I was over, way over last night DH wanted to go to pancake manor after ballet, now I'm going to have to do a lot of cleaning and gardening today since I only do ballet once a week and that's pretty much my only exercise. I was lucky to find a studio that does classes just for adults, and takes all skill levels. Love it! Makes it more as something fun to do than exercise.
