Default My browser at work is old as dirt...

and it's a pain.

I am trying to join a website like Spark People or something similar that's free to try tracking online before I decide if I want to go back to WW.

Well my browser is very old and I can't update it myself, so all these websites function terribly at work. I could just write it down in a little notebook I guess but I feel like these are amazing tools that I could be taking advantage of. I could log my breakfast after my first break, log my lunch during lunch and log any other miscellaneous snacks on my last break before heading off to class and anything else could be added at home.

It would be so great. /sigh

I guess I'm just bummed, hehe. Anyone else have similar problems? I'll just suck it up and dig out my little notebook tomorrow.

Haha my old work used IE 5. It was a miracle anything worked! Do you have a smart phone? Many of the tracking websites also have aps

Bargoo - The problem is I'm not an admin. I can't download anything at all, including the update for IE or any other browser.

I would much rather be using Google Chrome or Firefox, or I'd be happy just at the updated version of IE.

Anyways, I'm going to try a few tracking apps tomorrow but the problem with my smartphone is I feel like it takes so long to log something. I'm much quicker on a computer.

I might rejoin WW on Friday and so I could use their app and I think sometimes their website works okay here at work, though in the past it's been known to freeze and not work that well.

I'll figure it out. I am not going to let it stop me from trying to track my food. It's just that I'm working full time now and a the new semester has started so anything that can make it easier is awesome.

I have the same problem on my work computer... I use myfitnesspal.com but the app on my phone. It has a barcode scanner so as you make or put together your meals just scan the item and the info pops up. Quite fast. Good luck!
