i use sparkpeople.com but i rarely use the actual site now that i found an app on my phone which made it 1000 times easier to track considering i have my phone with me 24/7.

it's so much easier to decide what to eat since i can go ahead and plug it in and see the calories therefore if it's too much i can skip it.

I have an iPhone and use the "Lose It" application. It has been so convenient to be able to record my food throughout the day. Much of my success is because of using a phone application to keep track. If you have any smart phone there are many applications out there to try.

I made up a spreadsheet on my computer that I print out each week. It includes every meal and snack, as well as my treadmill and other exercise, my water, and my meds. I plan my meals and exercise and then hand write the actual food eaten or exercise on my sheet. I keep the sheets in a notebook. It makes it really easy to check on previous weeks to see what helped me be successful. Whenever I stop logging, I stop losing.
