Why should you join our friendly dieting community?
Do you want to lose 5, 10, 15 pounds and just can't make it happen?
Need to get ready for a wedding or beach vacation? Maybe it's leftover baby weight
or perhaps it's a beer belly (which brewed up in college). No matter
where the weight came from, we can help you take it off. We are not here to sell
you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,
fun weight-loss information, tracking tools, easy to follow meal plans, plus a
rock-strong community of other dieters to offer cheerleading, and best of all, friendship.
You have nothing to lose, except for that extra weight, of course.

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
Exercise and diet are the two basic foundations to any weight loss plan. This plan bases your exercise goals on individual needs and you slowly increase the intensity over four weeks. The diet is a simple, calorie-controlled regimen on which you will probably lose weight if you can follow it closely. This plan emphasizes important nutrients for women such as calcium, fiber, fruits, and vegetables.
A plan like this should be life long, not just for one month. You would have an overall healthy lifestyle even if you moved your calorie goal to 1800 daily and continued with the suggested exercise regiment.
A flexible and practical way to make healthy changes in your life
This program allows for flexibility and allows you to be human. It's okay to slip up once in a while. A buddy support forum and expert advice are on the Web site to help you.
Are you ready to measure out your foods? If so, this plan may be right for you. If you are groaning at the thought of a half cup of this or 3/4-cup of that, this plan may present problems for you.
It may be tough to confine yourself to a calorie-limited diet if you are accustomed to eating high-fat, high-calorie foods that push you over the mark. You really need to commit to eating the foods outlined so you don't overstep your calorie goals.
