+I love this site. I have used it on and off for about 2 years and during that time I have lost 85 pounds!!! The first time I lost 40, then 35 and now 10 more pounds and still going! I take a break every 5 months or so! This site is soooo easy to use... very user friendly and packed with info. I've never had any problem losing information even after being away for 3 to 4 months!! I've tried some of the others and they are not as good as this one. Give it a go... I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!!!

+Great way to find your bmr, plan meals ahead of time, track weight and body measurements, and even add your own custom foods. I strongly suggest a food scale, and if you use Firefox get Abduction! to take snapshots of things like average weekly macros or caloric intake.

+I lost ten pounds in ten weeks using FitDay. Weighing myself daily helped me to be accountable for what I was eating. The catalog of foods does a great job of helping me make good choices. I think this system would be great for individuals who like to make their own choices and be in control of their diet and exercise plan. I enjoy logging my activities and food. Measuring food with measuring cups and teaspoons may not work for everyone.

+Keeping track of everything I eat and seeing how much I use in energy keeps me aware and active. This is a great site - I'm considering buying the package.

+It's wonderful. Best tracking tool I have ever used and it's free. I have lost 5 lbs. in the last four days. It makes you aware of the nutrtion you are receiving daily. It really makes a difference!!! Love this program!!!

The concept of this website is great.
posted Mar 10th, 2009 5:31 pmI have just started using it. Most of what I eat is not on the food list though, so it is very time consuming. This wouldn't be a problem if the site wasn't soooooo sloooow. Sometimes it just doesn't work at all. This is not making me feel so secure and I could write out and calculate all my foods and be faster.
I am tempted to buy the software.
I was feeling like that was why it was so slow, but aparently I am the only one experiencing this.

+Great site, tracks goals and allow you to journal everything you can imagine! Best fitness site I've ever seen.

+I have been using this site on and off for 3 years now (decided I didn't care what I ate for a few months, and then decided to care again) to keep track of the calories I take in and how it compares with the calories I'm burning. Between a full time student and working, I really don't have the time to memorize how many calories are in an apple and record them anywhere. But I definately have time for this system. Not more than 10 minutes a day and you have tracked your activities and what you have eaten.
posted Jan 4th, 2009 5:42 pmAnother thing I love about this program is that it encourages not just counting calories but eating healthy. You can see if you have met your daily requirement for nutrients such as Vitamin C or D or Calcium. It also encourages you to do more activities in your life because you can see so clearly how many more calories you burned.
They have everything preprogrammed from walking to dancing and any sport you can think of. They also have the food preprogrammed in, so it is fairly accurate. You can edit those if you find that whatever brand of the food you are eating is slightly different than the information entered. You can also make completely new foods for your favorites that they might not have right on. Sometimes it is hard to get the nutritional information for recipes, so you will have to calculate that by looking up the ingredients, but I find I eat the same things over and over so I have everything entered that I really eat.
And of course, the best thing about this program is that it is FREE! I was suprised to see it so updated when I came back to it after a few months and it still be free. I would be willing to pay money for it now that I have seen all it can do. It makes me think twice before picking up that snickers bar. :-)

+The best diet journal tool. Period.
posted Jan 1st, 2009 8:33 pmThis has been the dominant player in the space for many years. Excellent customer service.
New redesign. More powerful than ever before.

-I liked the site at first, using it every day over a 6 month period. But, after not using it for about a month, they totally wiped out ALL my information. All the saved custom foods, all the weight loss and exercise I was tracking, everything but acknowledging my email address. I emailed them several times asking why they did that, and never got a response. I don't care if the site is free, but have an FAQ and make clear what your activitiy/inactivity policies are.

+Successful weight loss starts at knowing where you stand from the moment you decide to lose weight. Fitday isn't a 'how-to' site or a diet plan, but it is an easy to use journal that allows one to track what one eats, how many calories one burns, and how much one weighs (among other things). I have lost 50 lbs in <4 months. I did not diet. I merely tracked what I ate on Fitday and made the appropriate adjustments. I still eat ice cream, peanut butter, and those other foods that I used to eat in my heavier days. The difference today is Fitday. The awareness of my caloric intake has allowed me to significantly turn my life around.

+Great site, recently updated and upgraded, if you tried it before and didn't like it you should try it again. Tons of information and food stats at your fingertips. Very easy to create custom foods quickly also. Contains not just cals and fats, but all nutrition and vitamin info. Great site, best part is it's free!

+Fitday certainly pioneered a lot of the cool functions for a web based nutrition log.

+This website is great, and only getting better with time. It assisted me in loosing 25lbs a couple of years ago, and I will be using it to take off some more lbs before the holidays. The food log is invaluable in seeing what you are eating and how much throughout the day. Add to that the exercise log, and it is exactly what I needed to build a healthier lifestyle. I can not recommend this product enough to people trying to make fitness/eating lifestyle changes.
