Web Apps Fat-Off
What is the Web Apps Fat-Off?
I need to lose weight and thought it would be a great idea to tie together two things I do... losing weight and reviewing web apps. I am really looking forward to seeing how each one works and if there is a system to help build motivation and confidence.

How will the Fat-Off work?
I will post my comments on each app and the usage progress I am making. I will link the posts from this main Fat-Off page as well. My hope is to evaluate the tools in a real-time environment. Periodically, we will crown a winner; that tool that does the best job in motivating and encouraging and providing a strong tool for weight loss. Who will win? We will also add and remove apps as the journey progresses. Send in your suggestions! I have no idea but the journey should certainly be interesting!
Web Apps participating in the Fat-Off are:

Allen,
You did great job of reviewing some of the new online fitness communities. I wish our product was at a stage where we could participate. Maybe next time :-) Our community will have many of our competitors features but over time we will focus on key areas of fitness and health that most seem to ignore.
I wish all of the companies the best of luck and look forward to seeing how we all do in the future.

I would love it if you could include our site MyFitTribe (http://www.myfittribe.com) in the Fat Off. While we're not huge on tracking, we offer a lot of support in the form of advice, encouragment and help from our community. We also have a big network of professional trainers, nutritionists, doctors and athletes that love to help and contribute to the site and encourage the site memebers.
Best of luck to you in your weight loss!
