Web-based fitness journal called, "Weightmania” to track exercise, nutrition, weight loss and diabetes.

It helps users manage their health, improve their diet and workouts, stay motivated and reach goals sooner.

Weightmania is a web-based fitness journal called, that tracks exercise, nutrition, weight loss and diabetes.  Very simply put, it helps users manage their health, improve their diet and workouts, stay motivated and reach goals sooner.

Track workouts, meals and nutrients, calories, up to 24 measurements, dieting progress, diabetes, cholesterol, general health and more. It supports cardio and weight training, accommodates any workout or diet plan, While recent studies prove keeping any food diary or fitness journal can nearly double the chance of reaching a goal (like weight loss), and sometimes even cut the time in half, Weightmania Pro Online™ may greatly improve this. In addition to motivating you, it helps you visualize progress, reach goals, judge the effectiveness of diets and workouts and stick to any diet or exercise plan. It's much faster and more accurate than paper logs too.

Unlike any competing Web-based product, Weightmania Pro Online™ has the performance and "look and feel" of a Windows or Mac desktop application (it automatically adjusts to each platform). Users can copy and paste weight training and cardio workouts, record foods using drag and drop, create interactive charts and print. It tracks exercise, nutrition and general health equally (most fitness logs lean toward one and ignore the rest) and it's designed for home users, personal trainers, fitness clubs, wellness centers, schools and universities.

There are more than 20 tools. When you sign in, there is a multi-tab journal for viewing and recording daily information, a small calendar to navigate and a statistics summary. A tool bar gives you access to the full-sized calendar, chart, statistics and report tools. There are tools to manage recipes, grocery lists, fitness related Web links, training equipment, and routes (for running, cycling and walking). Other tools let you edit custom foods and exercises, and create predefined meal and workout programs (also known as templates). Templates can be used repeatedly, with, and let you enter meals or workouts for an entire day in one click. Finally, there is a tool to create your profile, containing goals, preferences and personal information. The program uses this information to automatically setup tools and remember the last state for your use

Weightmania also includes 12 widely used fitness, diet and exercise calculators. These are body mass index (BMI), basal metabolic rate (BMR), body fat (percent), calories burned for hundreds of activities, calories required daily, distance-time-pace-speed (for cardio exercise), a 42 key math and Metric to English conversion calculator, one-repetition maximum weight (1 rep. max.) for weight training, a resting heart rate calculator and timer, splits (for running, walking, cycling), target heart rate (ideal heart rate to maximize exercise), and a target weight calculator (for weight loss or gain). The target weight calculator tells you how many calories you need to consume daily to reach a weight goal by a specific date.

Recording food is simple and fast. Instantly lookup the nutrition content of any food with an interactive search (as you type characters it narrows the list of results). You can add an unlimited number of new custom foods, or lookup foods and add their nutrients together. In other words when you can't find a particular food, you can lookup each basic ingredient, sum the nutrients in one click and save it as a custom food. As you record food, Weightmania™ automatically creates a favorites list. Since most people eat the same 20 to 30 foods year-round, you can use the favorites list to record meals and nutrients for an entire day in seconds, using drag and drop. Both meals and workouts can be recorded faster using the input wizards provided.

Weightmania is the best of both worlds. It has all the benefits of a traditional desktop application (like a dynamic, interactive user interface, drag and drop, copy and paste, and instant screen refreshes) with the full advantages of a Web-based application. There is no difficult or time-consuming software installation, no need to worry about upgrades (you always have the latest version), and no need to worry about backups. User data is encrypted and stored on a secure server, then automatically backed up twice a day.

Record information at home or at the office, at school or while traveling.

Access it from any Web browser on any computer with Internet access for as little as 17 cents a day ($4.99 a month). While a subscription is required, there are no setup fees, and you cancel anytime for free. Weightmania  is the most comprehensive fitness journal on the Web for beginners and professionals.
