Most of my friends laugh at me when I say I'm trying to lose weight, but that's mostly because I wear my excess pounds well. It certainly helps being almost 6'3", and my arms are pretty slim... but really all that means is that I'm skinny and fat at the same time, which makes me feel like Watto when I get out of the shower. So, I've been searching for a tool that would make me actually go to the gym and do something about how I feel. I've been trying to find something like this for years. Over the years, I've used Google Health, Weightbot by Tapbots, and even thought about doing the whole Nike+ thing, but I don't believe in having to buy special shoes.

Finally, I think I've found what works for me, and that is Fitocracy. 

They understand that people like me will trade away our time in exchange for meaningless karma and badges that nobody else will ever care about. But I don't mind. I accept the mind games, and will bend myself to whatever silly reasons are getting my butt in the gym. If you're like me, and looking for something to motivate you with points, badges, and challenges to get in shape, go check it out!
