As the homepage says, it's a clone of Jeremy Zawodny's Excel Spreadsheet (http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/006851.html) I've been using to help me lose weight.

I built it mostly to learn App Engine and how to use a non relational Database (though I didn't end up doing any hardcore DB stuff).

Bajar de Peso, according to Google Translate, means "Lost Weight". The source code for the site is available at http://github.com/rmanocha/bajar-de-peso

It looks good. Thanks for making / sharing it.

If you're interested in feature requests, I'd love to see it give calorie intake recommendations, like in The Hacker's Diet.

But I understand if you aren't planning on major development. Thanks again.

I'd thought about doing the calorie stats/recommendations bit too - similar to what was in the spreadsheet. However, decided against it since I wasn't using that part of the spreadsheet, and 'cause I didn't want this work taking over too much time. If people are really interested in it though, I can take some time and add those features in too.

Thanks for the feedback.
