We got this program to monitor the boys' computer time: www.kidswatch.com
The boys like it and I like it. They have to earn computer time so I go on and add computer time to each user as they earn it (or loose it) and it automatically logs them off when their time is done. Computer is a good motivator for them-- today they got up and brushed their teeth and made their beds first thing without me even asking! Now I need to get something like that for the tv!
Next is http://www.sparkpeople.com
It is a wieght loss website that is completely free! You say what your weight, height, etc. is now, and it then you say what you want to weigh. It will calculate different programs (aggressive, slow and steady, etc.) and you pick the one you want. Then it makes a meal plan for you based on your calories, and an exercise program so you can get to that weight by the time you want. On the meal plan, you can click on something you want to change and it will give you a list of things you can substitute for it. Then, it will make a grocery list for you. On the exercise plan, it does the same type of thing- you say what kind of cardio exercise you want to do, and it will tell you how long and how fast you need to do it to burn the amount of calories you need. It also gives you the strength training exercises you need to do and how many and the directions, but you can change those, too, and substitute other ones if you want. It has lots of resources, and even an online planner, and will email you to remind you of things on your planner (good for me who needs reminders).
It has a website if you are pregnant: http://babyfit.sparkpeople.com/ with tons of resources and healthy meal plans and pregnancy safe exercises and other pregnancy resources.

Thanks for sharing your great finds. Love you.
Thanks for the babyfit site! Yes, I'm expecting again. I didn't know it then, but that's why I felt so terrible at the Gateway that day!!!
