With the holidays behind us many people are cringing when they step on the scale (myself included). So losing a few pounds could become something that many people will want to do with the beginning of the new year. It just so happens that there are a few facebook applications that can help you in this mission of weight loss.
The most robust application that we have seen around weight loss yet on facebook is the My Diet Application from the people behind FatSecret.com. It is a very full featured applications that covers almost everything you could want. “Track, Manage, Compare, Support”. It easily facilitates activity tracking, food intake, calories used/consumed, weight loss, support, calender, etc. This is a great application and if you want to have some support form your fellow members you should use this application.
The My Diet Facebook application easily allows:
* A food diary to plan and keep track of what you’re eating
* An activity diary to record all the calories you burn
* A comparison of your food and activities to your friends
* Your own weight ticker and weight chart over time
* A journal to record your progress
* A support wall to give and receive motivation
* A calorie counter
I know that I will use it to track me down to my goal weight of 199. Hopefully I can hit this weight loss goal in less than 45 days.

The only bad thing about this application is that the control over visibility isn’t very granular; it’s pretty much all-or-nothing. Also, there’s no way to reset or otherwise track weight/calories/etc. for a fixed period.
Otherwise, it’s a great application and I use it regularly.
Jeff,
True on the granularity of visibility. This is about as good as it gets on facebook regarding weight loss.
