Wow! Thanks everyone.

I'm gonna make a whole list with bullet points and give it to my friend!

Really excited to see if she's serious about this journey (I know not to push her, it's her own decision). I may actually have a real life weight loss buddy... besides all the wonderful people here, of course!

I really like http://www.fatsecret.com/ Stupid name, but decent site.

I stumbled upon it as a Blackberry app and now it also runs on my iPad and is capable of running on a host of other platforms including iPhone, iPod Touch Android and BlackBerry phones, Facebook, iGoogle etc.

Sparkpeople.com. I . used a couple for different things, but think Sparkpeople has it ALL for me! Great interaction, lots to do and check out. Great recipe calculator, incentives, etc.
Try it you'll like it. :goodvibes

I like caloriecount.about.com very much. It has great reports, articles and a database that hasn't let me down yet :)

And nutritiondata.self.com isn't very convenient for tracking calories, but has insanely detailed nutrition facts for different foods

i use ************.com

LOVE IT....tracks everything and excercise

I use my fitness pal.com (no space, the forum calls it a swear word for some reason) I really like it, especially the phone app.

My favorite used to be FitDay even though I remember it being a bit more 'primitive' than the other sites, I liked the simplicity it had. It's been a while so I'm not sure how much it might have changed, but it's cool to see that there are so many options now!
