I've become obsessed with weight loss; it helps to keep me from meeting my goal of writing a novel, or so I've come to believe.  At least this time around, my distraction is healthy.  And yes, it is healthy; I'm going to the gym (only once a day, a few times a week) and starting to watch my calorie intake, since that's just basic good sense.  No surgery, or flaky pills, yadda yadda yadda.

Anyway,  I found sparkpeople, a free online weigh loss support group.  they provide a lot of info, including nutrition trackers, calorie trackers, exercise trackers, etc.  I'm not sure how they manage to remain a free site; I think it's the sparkpoints (go to the site, you'll see what I mean).
