New York, NY (PRWEB) January 13, 2009 -- With New Year's resolutions fresh on everyone's minds, the team at iVillage, the leading women's online destination from NBC Universal, has launched a special site and community weight loss program designed to help women get the fit and fabulous body they desire -- without saying the word "diet." Aptly called NeverSayDiet.com (http://www.neversaydiet.com), this new health and fitness Web site spotlights:

• Simple step-by-step fun-filled workouts such as walking, dancing and even a beginner's guide to yoga and Pilates

• A handy toolbox featuring a Body Mass Index Calculator, Nutrition, Cholesterol & Fat Calculator, Snack Swapper and more

• Free streaming videos with easy-to-follow exercise instruction from fitness gurus such as Jillian Michaels and Leslie Sansone

• Healthy eating tips whether dining out or simply conquering a craving

• A Community Café offering up message boards, gifts, quizzes and other support, including three virtual coaches to help visitors reach their goals

• Body image features that showcase how one size does not fit all

• Inspirational real life success stories ranging from "Confessions of a Dining Hall Junkie" to "The Diabetes Diary"

In addition, NeverSayDiet.com has kicked off the NeverSayDiet Community Challenge, a free six-week weight loss program that lets participants eat the foods they love and still lose weight. This online weight loss program connects visitors with leading experts who provide daily health and fitness advice and motivation. It also offers interactive tools and a strong community of women who offer tips and support to help everyone stay focused and on track. To learn more and sign-up, visit our weight loss program (http://www.neversaydiet.com/neversaydiet-community-challenge) page.
