We post our diary's at the end of every night and log our exercise and people comment on how awesome we are (which is totally great for the ego LOL), or when we are struggling we post about it and give each other advice and ideas. We have a few people who are doing things like Couch to 5K, and we post back and forth about that and other exercise. And the beauty is that all your activity and food is right there, so if you are stalled or something you can say "hey, here is what I am doing, how can I change it?" and people can look at what you are doing and suggest things that can be done differently.
