... To first newsletter of 2008. Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all the best, and good luck in attaining all your fitness and weight loss goals this year!

Before I begin, I want to remind you about something I mentioned in the last newsletter, which, upon reflection, should have waited. If you remember, I told you that Global Fitness is offering a 30-day free trial of their service -- perfect for those of you whose New Year's resolution includes getting a little more active.

If you're interested, you can learn more about the 30 day trial here (or read my full review of their service here!)

If you'd rather find a product that can help you with the "battle of the bulge", click here to check out our recommendations.

All righty then! Let's get started..

New Reviews On UltimateFatBurner.com

Before I begin with this issue's updates, I'd like to introduce you all to Amie Gantt. Amie's a Texan, a long time dieter, and now, the UltimateFatBurner.com "in the trenches" product tester.

I was so impressed with her review of the Diet Power diet software (which she sent in to me on her own initiative because I didn't have a "diet software" review), I figured we could put her to work documenting her own experiences with some of the more "hyped" diet products on the market. With that in mind, I sent her off to experiment with Hoodoba Hoodia -- the best stuff on the market, if you believe the hype.

Well, Amie's finished her experiment, and you can read about her experiences with Hoodia here!

Elissa, our intrepid staff reviewer, has been busy too! Since our last newsletter she's reviewed Molecular Nutrition's X-Factor, Nature's Best Zero Carb IsoPure® , and the estrogen blocker Chrysin.

Despite the holidays, yours truly managed to get something done as well...

DietPower Diet Software Trial: Reviewing The Top Rated Diet Software

I have tried three DietPower software versions: 2.1, 4.0, and now the new, recently released 4.4 version. The premise of the DietPower software is simple: you give the program some basic info on yourself: age, height, weight, pregnancy status, smoker, etc; and tell it what you want to weigh and by when.
