How can I set up a private forum for my family doing a weight loss contest?

Q. I want to set up an easy forum where we can keep in touch about our dieting together. Can you tell me how or where to do this? It doesn't have to be a weight loss website, just somewhere we can have a PRIVATE forum where we all post. Thanks.

A. You can set up by using a private web server, you need to setup a private forum by using vbulletin, SMF or PHPBB scripts.


How can I link my website so others can find it?
Q. I have a weight loss website and I need to know how to link it so people can just be routed to it.

A. Find out how to put metags on your site so it will be more easily found by search engines, like Yahoo!, Google, etc. Get friends with web sites to include your link on their pages. Create a blog for you and your friends and put a link there. It may grow. Join WebRings that are related to weight loss. Create an emblem for your product or service and invite others to use it as a link on their page. (Makes it a bit more attractive.)

There are link-building services which claim to improve your ranking on search engines. However, search engines work to ignore many of their techniques.

Will becoming a vegitarian help tremendously with weight loss?
Q. I am trying to lose some weight, about 30 pounds. I was thinking about becoming a vegetarian for a while. While I am trying to mantain a healthy diet and excercise, will this help? Alsoo...I am worried that when i lose the weight, i will gain it back. Will building muscle help me not gain this weight back? Any other tips on weight loss? Please no advertisements for stupid websites! only legit weight loss websites, if you are going to post them at all. thanks everyone!

A. No being a vegetarian will not help with weight loss. The only thing that helps with weight loss is reducing the amount of calories you eat and increasing your exercise.
I'd say stick to the following overall guideline and foods:
Fruits: (all fruits are good but some are better for making the weight loss process better, so I suggest only eating the following fruits)
apples
oranges/clementines
mangoes
grapefruits
peaches
blueberries (frozen is good too since they're not really in season)
strawberries
banana
kiwis
dried fruit: prunes and apricots
Vegetables (same all are good but for weight loss only stick to these)
sweet potatoes
broccoli
spinach
kale
salad
celery
cucumber
pepper (red, orange, green and yellow)
tomatoes
carrots
cauliflower
cabbage
red cabbage
onions
garlic

Dairy: (normally low fat is fine but for now only do fat free)
skim milk
fat free yogurt
fat free cottage cheese

Proteins: (stick to lean meats and proteins high in Omega 3's which helps w/ stress and helps w/ weight loss too)
salmon
light tuna drained in water
egg whites (the yolk is fine for maintaining weight but for loosing weight try to avoid it)
lean white chicken breast (grilled chicken is good)
smoked turkey breast
hummus
garbanzo beans (high in fiber)
tofu (only fresh tofu)
black beans

Grains: (only whole grain- there are many healthy grains but for the purpose of loosing weight stick to these foods)
whole wheat bread
whole wheat English muffins
oatmeal (only Quaker regular/plain)
Kashi whole grain blueberry/original/strawberry flax waffles
Amy's Organic (its a brand) strawberry pop tarts and apple pop tarts
whole wheat hamburger buns (if you choose to have a garden or tofu burger)
low fat quaker granola bars
regular cheerios (you may add honey to it if you need an extra hit of taste)
brown rice (get the kind that is higher in fiber)
whole wheat couscous
lentils and beans

Fats: (you will need fat in your diet...so stick to these fats)
Olive Oil
Reduced Fat Kraft Mayo
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
Peanut Butter (natural kind...no Jiff or Skippy)
Almonds
Cashews

And when you need that hit of "dessert" choose only 1 of the following:
1) homemade fruit and yogurt smoothie
cup of frozen strawberries
cup of frozen vanilla low fat Hagan Daz yogurt
half cup skim milk
in the blender for 2 and half minutes and ENJOY

2) homemade apple/cranberry/oatmeal crisp
half cup of uncooked oatmeal
tbsp of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
1/4 cup of brown sugar
tbsp cinnamon
- put that on the stove and mix and cook together until lightly brown

Apple
Cranberry Sauce
put sliced apple in a small pan then add cranberry then add the blend
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes and ENJOY!

3) purchased Kashi Happy Trail Mix Cookies

Also drink plenty and plenty of water.
Calorie Wise I am not sure b/c I don't how tall you are...But I would guess about 1300 calories a day and work out for 45 5x a week.
