I am heavier now than I was when I was pregnant. This is due to a good life of large portions, alcohol but little exercise. I am in a cycle of bad habits which I am struggling to break, and need motivation to do this long term as I don't believe in diets. I want to change my eating habits long term so that I am healthier and the weight stays off.

Is there a way we can add our own exercises as I do trampolining but this is not listed.
Thanks.

you could put it under aerobics and enter in your own calories.

Speaking of tabs -- is there a calorie counter on the site or am I missing something?

It's not my first time losing weight, but I feel committed to making it the last time. I mean to reach goal and stay there!

I just put my exercise under the closest thing I can find... and enter calories either as estimated by my Crosstrainer 6 software or, preferably, from my heart rate monitor. Unfortunately, the HRM is not too good about reading consistently in the pool... so for my water activities I generally use the software estimate, which, has generally been fairly consistent with the HRM.
So water aerobics just goes under aerobics.
Nordic Track skier goes under skiing.

Gotcha TNM. I read on upcoming features, I hope it is added at some point. I'm using fitday currently and am foregoing the "rating" features here -- they just aren't useful to me at this point and I don't want to track my cals in 2 places.

I have to admit... I track in my software on my computer... AND on my blog and I'm not sure if I'm going to bother continuing to track on traineo or not. We'll see. It is a lot of extra effort.
I like the forums part... and I think some of the group challenges might be fun, but I'm not sure the extra tracking serves much purpose for me.
