One of the most difficult things about getting into shape after finding time to work out is staying on track. Especially when you are doing it alone you can have some really down days where all you want to do is eat a quart of Java Chip... in one sitting.

But there are some great support systems out there that are free. My favorite is SparkPeople.com. I love this website. It has menus, calorie trackers, exercise hints and workouts, support groups, games, articles and so much more. Whatever your take is on getting healthy this website can really help you achieve your goals.

The best part is that it's free. You really have nothing to lose. You can check it out at www.sparkpeople.com.

For pregnant or post-partum moms SparkPeople has a great sister website called babyfit.com. This site has an awesome community where you can ask questions and find out all about having a baby and raising kids. It's a real hoot.

Another free site that I just heard about is ExtraPounds.com. I looked it over and I think it is very similar to SparkPeople.

I think anything that helps you to focus on your goals, assists with portion control, gives you an outlet to ask questions and a place post your successes is wonderful. And it doesn't have to be a major investment of money.

If you want to "Be GREAT in 2008" these are a few of my recommendations.
