I use sparkpeople, I used to do weight watchers points on my own but I think calorie counting is helping me understand more of the big picture what choices I can make to improve my eating habits.
|
I use the pad and pen. I like that because I can do it anytime, anywhere. I also post my weight on my calendar , that way I can see at a glance if a pattern is forming.
|
I use the FitDay program for PC, as opposed to the website. I have it installed on my Netbook, which I bring almost everywhere with me.
|
I record my emotions on a daily basis, just to help shed light if there are ever any slip ups... and also to keep tabs of how I successfully pull through harder days than others.
|
old fashioned pen and paper here to! I like that it is handy right then and there without going to get on my computer or phone. Just seems the easiest. I think if I did decide to do the computer (which I am now that I have a BB) I would use pen/paper and then upload everything at one time.

I write in my calendar. I'm a nurse so I live by my calendar - when do I work? what day is it? So I look at it all the time. If I write my food in it I'm constantly reminded. Sometimes I don't eat something I shouldn't just because I don't want to write it on the calendar and look at it all week. It's also easy then for me to see the week as a whole - sometimes I only eat 800 or 900 calories on a day after two or three long shifts because I'm catching up on sleep. That gives me a little more flexability on those long shifts if I'm hungrier than I've allowed for.

I am using index cards right now. Have a stack of them -easy to take with and then just keep them in order by date. Can flip back through to easily look up foods and there counts. Used a notebook and pen before - too many times - just needed something different this time!
|
opps! I meant THEIR counts!
|
I use lose it on my iPod and then track it with calories burned with my Go Wear Fit.
|
Journaling your emotions is a very handy tool. It allows you to look back and see if there is a correlation between wanting to eat a whole bag of pretzels and a crappy day or too much ice cream and a sad day or nothing at all and an insecure day. Make sense?

I use dailyplate.com I love that it has so many of the foods I eat already in and accurate.I've tried sparkpeople, but it seems too busy for me lol
|
another Fitday fan here. I've used it on and off for a few years, so at this point, it's got almost all of what I eat in either my recent food or my custom food lists. I don't think there is a Android app for it yet, but I just go into the web on my phone if I'm not near a computer. But usually, I plan out what I'm going to eat for the day in the mornings, so I don't have to add a lot throughout the day.
