WIN! Weight Loss Resources membership - DG 9th Birthday Sell Out Day 4

The prize: Courtesy of Weight Loss Resources, one winner will receive:

• 6 months membership to Weight Loss Resources
• a Food & Exercise Daily Diary
• a copy of The Calorie, Carb & Fat Bible 2010

Available to readers from: UK only.

What the heck is it?
Weight Loss Resources is a cracking set of online tools to help you bust the lard. Features include:

• The biggest UK food database
• Food diary and analysis tools
• Calorie requirements calculator
• Goal setting facilities
• Monitoring of weight, body fat and BMI
• Reports and charts on weight and nutrition
• Add your own recipes and automatically calculate nutritional information
• Exercise activity database
• Members forum
• News, features and tips including a monthly column by me!

Why do you dig it?
I've been a member since 2004 but didn't really put the site to good use until early 2005 when I was in a desperate rush to fit into my wedding dress. I found the site to be a no-nonsense way to track my food and goals. You enter your height and weight, you decide how much you want to lose each week (from 0.5 -2 pounds) and it tells you how many calories a day to eat. It also tallies up carbs, protein, fat and fibre.

You can also run little reports which appeals to my inner geek - I sleep better knowing precisely how many grams of apples I've eaten in a week, ho ho ho. Best of all it has a comprehensive UK food database - I've tried other sites but most of them are US-based so you have to manually enter foods. Only thing missing from WLR would be a dedicated iPhone app, although the site works fine on a mobile browser!

One winner will receive 6 months membership to WLR plus the Calorie & Carb Bible and journal.
Leave a comment below to enter! Sorry, UK residents only. Entries close Wednesday 3 February 2010 at 10.00 GMT. Winner will be chosen at random.

Second comment, wahooo! I'd love any of these things are being given away please! I've been at goal for one year as of today - surely that should be something to celebrate!?

Happy 9th Birthday dietgirl.org!

[21 · Posted by Lexxi · January 21, 2010 at 04:59 PM]

Thanks heaps :)

[29 · Posted by Merja · January 21, 2010 at 10:24 PM]

Yes! This would be a great help here in UK. It has been bloody difficult to use the database based on Finnish foods. I keep my thumbs up. Thanks Shauna, this has become a very exiting week because of your lottory game.

[30 · Posted by Elle · January 22, 2010 at 02:44 AM]

Count me in for this great prize giveaway! Thank you!

[38 · Posted by alyndabear · January 23, 2010 at 10:31 AM]

Shauna this sounds amazing! I used to use Calorie King in Oz, but I can't find any good ones in the UK so far.. that are easy to use, anyway. :)

[39 · Posted by CJ · January 23, 2010 at 10:36 AM]

Hmm gonna have to check out this site regardless...think I inherited the calorie bible from a couple of years ago but accessing on the mobile would be much easier than carrying that mass of paper around!

[40 · Posted by Lianne · January 23, 2010 at 11:08 AM]

Having something that's UK based would be really useful, I'm tired of manually entering everything into the other trackers I've tried!

[41 · Posted by Jennifer · January 23, 2010 at 11:38 AM]

This is supper helpful, I'm glad to know about it at all. The contest bit is a great bonus. Thanks!

[42 · Posted by Joanne · January 23, 2010 at 11:55 AM]

I love WLR and can't function without it! Six months membership would be fab

[43 · Posted by Penny Hankey · January 23, 2010 at 04:00 PM]

[44 · Posted by lilly · January 23, 2010 at 04:33 PM]

[45 · Posted by Sam · January 23, 2010 at 08:21 PM]

hmm for some reason I can't comment on this post - will try again!! I tried WLR last year and it worked well for me, but I didn't want to keep paying so I stopped and of course, I put all the weight back on!! :-(

[46 · Posted by Sheri Scott · January 25, 2010 at 01:47 AM]

I could really use the resources

[47 · Posted by bron · January 25, 2010 at 11:32 AM]

*sigh* I wish I didn't need this. But I do.

[48 · Posted by Kathryn · January 25, 2010 at 01:06 PM]

Yes, yes YES! This would be the perfect kick-start for me and I SO hope to win! Especially helpful to me will be the UK food lists - I'm new here and have much to learn!

[49 · Posted by Kerrie · January 25, 2010 at 05:20 PM]

This will suit my control freak periods rather than my out of control periods!

[50 · Posted by Lisa · January 25, 2010 at 08:28 PM]

This looks very cool -- I'd love to try it.

[51 · Posted by Jo Bryan · January 26, 2010 at 12:09 AM]

What a great plan, I could really do with the support thats given with the Weight Loss Resources,

[52 · Posted by Yvette · January 26, 2010 at 11:55 AM]

I have looked at the resources website many a time - very good site

[53 · Posted by Kat · January 26, 2010 at 01:56 PM]

Am I eligible if I'm already a member? Lol!

[54 · Posted by Amanda · January 26, 2010 at 02:37 PM]

What an awesome prize. I used to use Calorie King a lot in Australia, but I got fed up of entering all the UK foods once I came here. A UK version would be brilliant!

[55 · Posted by Sarah (big_mummy) · January 27, 2010 at 07:36 AM]

weight loss resources is great- since i use them already this would be a wonderful prize!!!

[56 · Posted by Lindsay Shepherd · January 27, 2010 at 04:32 PM]

[62 · Posted by Sarah · February 01, 2010 at 09:59 AM]

In the midst of a 'new year, new me' kickoff. This sounds like the perfect help for my geeky brain.

[63 · Posted by Lindsay · February 01, 2010 at 01:42 PM]

I love WLR - it's a great tool.

[64 · Posted by Kaz · February 02, 2010 at 08:00 AM]

This sounds like the perfect tool to help me control and not obsess. Do you think it knows about kickboxing?

[65 · Posted by Nicki · February 03, 2010 at 08:50 AM]

I would love this prize as it would help me lose the next 7lbs by my wedding in April!
