turned my life over and got back to training and stopped eating junk food

That is the secret to losing weight and staying healthy. There's no money in that though, since you can't charge people money if all they have to do is stop eating doughnuts and start jogging.

People will spend money on magical gadgets, miracle pills, and mystical potions that promise to "melt away the pounds." It's pretty sad, really.

The thing I tried this program, ie not a webapp, that lets you fill in your exercises and your meals and then calculates if you on the right side. It lets you put up 10 week plans and doesnt let anorectics use it. Should be something like that as a webapp. I think someone did something like that in Arc.
Disagree. Weight Watchers is a publicly traded company and I believe the part about helping people stop eating so much is the core of what they do.
