There's also a very popular Calorie Tracker iPhone [iTunes link] and BlackBerry applications that are giving would-be lifestyle improvers the ability to find and track information on the food they consume while on the go.

Now at the one year mark, LIVESTRONG is releasing some impressive numbers based on app and site activity. In short, users have burned a collective 1.9 billion calories from over 5.86 million logged activities. They're accomplishing these feats by mapping runs, tracking exercises, calculating caloric intake on a regular basis, and using the site's community features to find support and encouragement.

Some other notable benchmarks from the community experience include users spending a total of 340 million minutes exercising, with 2.3 million miles walked, 1.16 million miles ran, and 2.3 million miles biked. All this activity has helped members shed 22,000 inches from their waistlines, 14,000 inches from their hips, and burn a remarkable amount of calories in the process.

Given that the site is only a year old, we expect to see these numbers continue to grow with time, and ultimately hope to see a more inspired and active population of healthy people.
