One of my boot campers introduced me to http://www.myfitnesspal.com/. This site is a great way to journal your calorie intake. When you set up your account (which is free, by the way), you include your weight loss goal and myfitnesspal will calculate your BMR for you and set a calorie guideline for each day. It also breaks down these calories in protein, carbs, fat and sugar guidelines based on your goal.
Other great features:
~you can 'friend' people kind of like FaceBook and leave comments, etc.
~bulletin board type forums with posts about exercise, recipes, motivation, etc.
~success stories
~exercise calculator, heart calculator and general fitness education
Be sure and include your daily exercise when you set up your account so your calculated calorie intake isn't too low. You all know that you need sufficient calories to fuel your body through your workouts. When it gets down to it, YOU are the only one who can make changes in your life. But if you are serious about losing weight and getting healthier this year, myfitnesspal will keep you focused and help you get there!
