I thought we could list the best weight loss tools we've found online here. Please let me know if there are any that you think deserve to be here and I will add them. Please let us know the link to the site, the cost (if it's free or not), and what type of tool it is (i.e. calorie counter, BMI calculator)

Calories Burned, BMI, BMR & RMR Calculator | CaloriesPerHour.com
This is FREE to use.
It is a great site that allows you to calculate how many calories you have or will burn off per exercise.


FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal
This is FREE to use.
It has a diet journal, as well as being a daily record of calorie and nutrient intakes. It gives you a report on how you are doing with your calorie, exercise, nutrient, and weight loss.

This is FREE to use.
It is part of the website of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and includes both BMI calculators for height and weight in both english and metric units. It has two parts, one for adults and one for children and teenagers.
