Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2005Software for dieting & exercise
Hi I have recently put quite a lot of weight on, and need to shed it, asap. I have had a few attempts at trying to lose weight, but without success. I am looking for some software that I can use to help track my progress, and record my diet and exercise, and be able to monitor my progress. Can anyone recommend something?? I have found this product, but have not yet purchased it. www.dakware.com I like the idea of being able to use the PDA, as I need a machine to remind me, and organise me. I would be grateful if anyone could offer any help. Thanks Joe. FitDay DietPower WeightWare I use DietPower on the PC. Not sure what is best for a PDA, although I think there were some posts about that. Mel eat less, move more 225/214/160 > Hi > I have recently put quite a lot of weight on, and need to shed it, asap. [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Joe. Thanks for the quick reply. I tried the demo of DietPower, and found it to be a little clumsy in my experience. The Interface looks better on this one, and the PDA support looks promising, especially for me, who needs reminding and generally nagging!! I'll have a look at the others you mentioned. Thanks! > FitDay > DietPower [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >> >> Joe. I can recommend fitday, as it is free. Also www.caloriesperhour.com. There is no requirement that you must have software to lose weight, it can be done without software.  Signature223/173.3/180 >I can recommend fitday, as it is free. Also > www.caloriesperhour.com.

Of course it can be done, people have been doing so since long before computers, however, it can be of help. Personally, I find just having to enter everything on Fitday gives me a sense of 'accountability', even if only to myself. I find it harder to go over my calorie limit or to cheat when it's all on the screen. It can also be educational, before I never really thought about things like spices, coffee, lettuce, chewing gum, etc. having calories. With traditional calorie counters (books) it can be cumbersome to translate the gien values to what you actually ate, I used to estimate but always tended to underestimate ;-) I've been using FitDay PC for 5 weeks now & I really like it. The online version is free but the speed, convenience & added features of the PC version are definitely worth the $20. > Hi > I have recently put quite a lot of weight on, and need to shed it, asap.

I recommend WeightWare ( http://www.WeightWare.com ), but I'm the author of it, so I guess that's no surprise :-). WeightWare is primarily a weight, health, and exercise diary. It does not use a "calorie counting" approach to weight loss, because counting calories is time-consuming and error prone. Instead, it analyzes your weight history using statistical techniques to calculate your daily "energy balance". This unique approach is much easier than calorie counting, and because it is based on your actual recorded weights, it is more accurate too. To see if it meets your needs, you can download a free, fully functional 30-day trial version from this web page: http://www.shastasoftware.com/WeightWare/Download.htm SignatureGG http://www.WeightWare.com Your Weight and Health Diary Before you go out on your limb to help this poster: it turns out that this is the site owner's self advertising and not a genuine question. See below. > Hi > I have recently put quite a lot of weight on, and need to shed it, asap. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Can anyone recommend something?? Paul, I can recommend to disclose right away that you are advertising your own website. dakware.com is owner by Paul Aspinall. Recent posts by Paul Aspinall such as http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.photography/msg/d42334c5f22909fa?dmode=source come from 82.42.53.187. "Joseph Scully"'s post comes from the same IP: NNTP-Posting-Host: 82.42.53.187 > I have found this product, but have not yet purchased it. > www.dakware.com no sh.t, if you purchased your own product, you would definitely need to go on serious medications. > I like the idea of being able to use the PDA, as I need a machine to remind > me, and organise me. > > I would be grateful if anyone could offer any help. My suggestion for you would be to do what GaryG is doing, which is genuinely participating in newsgroups, but mentioning your site at proper moments. rather than faking interest in your products and making false posts.

The NNTP posting host is the IP of the mail server that the message was first posted to. But, it does not tell us the IP of the poster...presumably, many people post using that same host.

NNTP-Posting-Host is the IP address of the computer that submitted the message to the news server. 82.42.53.187 resolves to 82-42-53-187.cable.ubr05.knor.blueyonder.co.uk, which is customer premises equipment for a UK cable internet ISP. That's where the message originated from. 82.42.53.187 is not a mail server because its port 25 (SMTP, for email) is firewalled off. Mail servers would have this port open. i > GG > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> proper moments. rather than faking interest in your products and >> making false posts.

R F C 821 says: `` The SMTP transmission channel is a TCP connection established between the sender process port U and the receiver process port L. This single full duplex connection is used as the transmission channel. This protocol is assigned the service port 25 (31 octal), that is L=25.'' i >>>"Ignoramus25277" <ignoramus25277@NOSPAM.25277.invalid> wrote in message >>>http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.photography/msg/d42334c5f22909fa?dmode=source [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > channel.

No, it does not say that it is "default", it says that it is "assigned", period. That's the port that mail servers use to accept mail from all over the world. > jesus, this is why we need to crack down on issuing green cards. port 25 would still be the SMTP port, even if you cracked down on issuing green cards. >>>>>"Ignoramus25277" <ignoramus25277@NOSPAM.25277.invalid> wrote in message >>>>>http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.photography/msg/d42334c5f22909fa?dmode=source [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > "assigned", period.

The NNTP posting host is the IP of > the mail server that the message was first posted to. That is incorrect on two counts. First, usenet messages are posted to a *NEWS* server, not a mail server. Second, the NNTP posting host is the address of the machine on which the usenet client is running on, it is not the address of the server. Now it's true that several people could post from the same post, for example, if they're running a news client on a remote unix host like I do ... but in this case, he's running outlook express. It's also true that with dynamic IP addresses, it's possible that two different people could use the same address to post at different times -- but much less probable than it would be if everyone from the same ISP had the same NNTP posting host field.

I was suprised that you didn't catch this at first. I was suspicious and was hoping you would do the footwork. Thanks. BTW, he also posted to MFW. >> Before you go out on your limb to help this poster: it turns out > that [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > BTW, he also posted to MFW. I did not see it there, I check it once in a while, but not always. At first, I thought that it was a legitimate post (despite mention of a particular website), but then I saw his post in rec.running and alarm bells rang.

"Fitday" and "Diet Sleuth" are great www.fitday.com "Fitday"is much more detailed for those types who love doing their own Income tax returns. I use both, "Fitday" when being neurotically compulsive and "Diet Sleuth" When I want to be on the go but still keep tabs on things. Note: "Diet Sleuth is a nutritional package for the Macintosh, with information for more than 5000 foods. www.blackcatsystems.com/software/diet.htm SignatureDiva ***** "Fang Shoe" is the art of putting your foot in your mouth. |
