Roo, I definitely think it is helpful to keep a journal (either electronically via app or program or even just pen and paper) because it is very helpful to look back on what I ate on a week where I had a loss, or maybe a gain etc. It is also nice to keep track to make sure I am getting all of my essential nutrients (fiber, protein, etc). With me being on a lower calorie diet it is especially important that I make sure I am getting all of my proper nutrients. If you are a non-techy person than you can try logging just your calories with a good ol' fashioned notepad and pen for a week to try it out to see how you like it. It might be helpful to you!

I just loaded it on my android. Thanks. Maybe it will give me an extra shove the right way- I need one in a bad way. lol

I love myfitnesspal app, esp the Barcode Scanner. Very easy to use. If I see something that I think the calories look off I google it and see what other sites are saying to see if it is accurate or way off.

I eat alot of the same things everyday, so for me it works great.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I'm using the myfitnesspal app. It works great. Except when I first went into it i thought i could eat those added cals from my workouts. I think i undermined my goals. I am watching everything well with this app.

I use my fitness pal

I guess I should look at my fitness pal, because I don't why I am still on calorie count.

Oh my goodness. I love myfitnesspal. Weight loss rocks!
