Posted by: TLCDad Jan 24 2008, 02:58 PM

Hi all,

I am going to be starting my daily weight lifting and excerise routine again. The last time I worked out for two weeks straight I lost almost 15lbs. My goal is to be in very good shape by my birthday in September. My goal is to be at least close to what I weighed when I was in my 20s. Good news is I have more muscle tone so might even look better

I have around 40lbs to loose though!

I am going to try to go to the gym at least 4 times a week. Does anyone have any software or websites to recommend to keep track of my progress. What I am looking for is a database type application to track everyting I did on a daily basis. For example one that I can record what weight machines I used and what weight and reps on it, etc.

Thanks!

I don't know of any specific software, but worst case you could use Excel.

Good for you, and good luck with your goal!

I'm not really sure about software or anything but weightwatchers has a GREAT online program

Yeah, I was thinking about just programming a database web app on my own but I have so many projects going on right now, that I do not have time for it.

This looks kind of cool, you can chart measurements and food along with workouts

have you ever considered making a blog where you can track your weight and progress?

Rod, I found http://www.exertrack.com/exertrackcom/default.aspx . I don't know whether it's any good or not, but it's freeware so at least you won't be out anything if it's no good. In fact, I think I'm going to put it through some paces. I wonder if it does the fire inspector day long stair master routine?

Dunno, but good luck.

Let us know how your progress goes Rod.

Sparkpeople.com I think is the best website.

It pretty much has everything.
