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.

Hi Amberelise!
I live in Columbia, IL right across the Mississippi from St. Louis. I am originally from St. Louis and do most of our shopping and recreation in Missouri. All of dh and my relatives are still scattered throughout Missouri. I've been to Chicago on business and I have a good friend who lives up there. It's a really cool city. I don't know where Harrisburg is although I've been to Du Quoin.
