Fitday and a measuring cup. I have several "one cup" plastic containers and have no shame and will pour dinner/snack or whatever directly into them so I can get a REAL idea at how much I am eating. If I eyeball it I find that calories magically disappear from my tally! The truth hurts, but not losing weight hurts more.

I use fitday. I have a very good memory so when I get home from a restaurant I sit down at the computer and log everything I ate into the computer. I hate carrying things in my purse if I can help it. :) If fitday doesn't have the calories I google it. Otherwise, I add custom entries using nutrition labels. It's not hard at all anymore because I generally eat the same things each day and just have to add it from my custom list.

But, you have to use whatever works for you.

Mom2five - Are you from around Harrisburg? Just curious. I grew up in Du Quoin and worked in Harrisburg for a while when I was in college.
