Google's new Weight Loss Tool

Google have just recently set up a online weight tracker, one of the Google engineers namely, Brian W. Fitzpatrick created something called the Google 15. Apparently the reasons behind this are when you work for Google there is a rumour that new starters gain 15 pounds in weight, due to the abundance of food that is offered to them while they are working, this is just a rumour though so it shouldn't be taken as being gospel.

Apparently reasons behind the development of the tool or so that new employees could track their weight. Hence this is how the Google 15 came into being unlike other ways of tracking your weight which can show peaks and troughs if represented as a graph, this works differently it works on more of an average, you weigh yourself on a daily basis, at about the same time on each day and put your information into the tool which is an online tool.

You have a nice graphical picture so you can see where you actually are.

Here are the links so you can look for yourself

The first link will add the tool to my Google if you already have it here

The second link will take you to the tool main page which is here

Actually, I wrote it as a 20% project because I wanted to help anyone track their weight. :-)

Oh, and your "first link" doesn't appear to do anything.
