Life Form Software Review
by Lee LeMon

Life Form by Fitnesoft is a Windows 3.1 or better software package. Not being a "Windows" type person (in other words, when I can use DOS, I do!), I found it to be one of the easiest Windows installed programs that I have come across, and there have been many.

It is a program that tracks your total health for you. It requires a little bit of homework on your part, but it's very thorough in it's keeping track of you. Many of the questions are multiple choice, but you also have the option of editing many of the features to suit your needs.

My favorite feature is that it allows you to put in all your medical history and your medical information, such as medical problems (ex. I'm a Diabetic and there's a place for the medications that I take), a place for you doctor(s) information, your medical insurance(s), hospital(s) used, and emergency contact person(s).

It really goes into detail about your weight, blood pressure, height, your clothing sizes and tracks by day how you're feeling (this is multiple choice(s). When you do the clothing size screen, it's good to have a measuring tape handy you'll need it!, but that's optional information. You get pop up boxes that can be sized to see all at once or closed up to see one at a time.

There's a place to keep all your lab work-ups, it gives you all types of graph's and you have the option of saving to disk or printing the information. I think this is a great feature that can be helpful if you see your doctor on a regular basis.

There are two things that I wish was included in this program, a diabetic's log, many of us take our sugar counts daily and our doctors like to keep track of it, and also a daily record for prescription medicines taken.

The information print out could be taken with you while traveling and would be helpful should you need medical attention. Would be great for doctors to have this program, so that patient's could just bring a disk to their office.

Included in this program is a food intake area with nutritional facts about what you eat, and you can add foods to it's list that are not listed, along with the nutritional facts about it, to give you a more accurate count of fats, carbohydrates, etc. that you eat.

It also has an exercise section, even for couch potatoes like myself (or should I say, I'm stuck to my computer most of the time!).

I am recommending this program to all my friends and family, I like it that much. I get a lot of different tracking programs because of the nature of my illness, but this is by far the best, most comprehensive I have seen. All the section's are optional, so you only keep track of the things you want to, but like anything else, the more information you put into it, the more you will get out of it.

I think that if people were to get a look at it, they would not hesitate to buy the full version.
