Do you need a fitness pal?

It's hard to work out as it is when you are starting again, much more if you are by yourself! Having to motivate yourself maybe a struggle to start with but if you put your mind to it, it is possible! I have done it for 2 days now. But I have to admit stumbling across this website helped me a whole lot! I was just trying to figure out how much calories "Chicken Tinola" (Filipino chiken stew) has and lo and behold! I saw a site that had most Filipino dishes in it! - with their calorie content and nutritional facts! Whether its junk food or just plain cookies, regardless of which country you are in? most likely the site has the data you are looking for! I even was so arrogant enough to challenge to look for the caloric content of "Champorado" (Filipino Chocolate porridge) and OMG it does have the info!
To my surprise, its also a social networking site for people who need support in their attempt to change their lifestyle to a more desirable and healthy one. Yes, its the "Facebook" for the fitness challenged! www.myfitnesspal.com has everything you need to start your "change", tips, tools and even daily journals of your progress!

So if you are planning to start a workout or healthy lifestyle choice, you don't have to be by yourself, you have a whole social network to cheer you on! See you there!
