A month ago my best friend told me about a website called, "myfitnesspal.com."  It is a website that tracks daily calorie intake, daily exercises, and monitors the progress of weight loss.  I signed up, and the website reminds me of this class a little bit because it tracks your exercises. It has a place to log food intake and exercises. In addition, there are some tools on the website. They include weight loss ticker, BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), and a BMI calculator. The BMR calculates, "how many calories you would burn if you stayed in bed all day." This was quite interesting. It said I would burn 1,304 calories if I just stayed in bed. I understand that the BMI is not a good test, but I used their calculator anyway just to see the result. I inputed my height and weight and it calculated my BMI at 20.2. Then I inputed a weight of 10 pounds lighter, and the BMI changed to 18.6.

In addition, if you can get past all of the advertisements on the web page, then it is a great way to track your calorie intake and exercises once you finish this class. There is also a place when you sign-up to receive emails about food recipes, which can be fun to receive.  Let me know what you think of the website, and if it would be a good fit for your lifestyle.
