Mayor Menino wants us to! Maybe he’s on a fitness kick, maybe he’s secretly angling for a stint as Weight Watchers spokesperson. Regardless, the Globe reports that the mayor (who promised during his State of the City address to help residents “shed a million pounds” this year) will launch a city website devoted to weight loss.

Reports the paper: “The Boston Public Health Commission will launch a citywide campaign this spring, inviting residents to log in to a website where they can record their starting weight and their goals and track their progress.” First soda, now this. No wonder food trucks have such a tough time around here! Hopefully the site is anonymous. [Globe]
