I've started working on my own private weight/fitness tracking site.
http://gym-bunny.herokuapp.com/weights
It's still early days -- if you click on the "weights" item, you can see that my weight timeline is hard-coded into the app (well, it's in the database).
What I really want to do is add workout information, sets, reps, and so on, and get the same charting capabilities that I have for weight. What's nice is that I built the weight graph as a reusable component, so as soon as I figure out the data schema for the exercise stuff, it should be as simple as adding another page to the app to display it.
Yes, I know that a lot of this functionality is replicated elsewhere, but no site (Livestrong, Fitocracy, etc.) is exactly what I want. Either they're trying too hard to sell you stuff, or they have a clunky interface, or something. So, since I'm a programmer, I figured I'd do it myself

Yes. I'm a geek.
