I started using thedailyplate.com on Sept. 22, and keeping track of the calories I’ve been able to drop 11 pounds as of this past Friday (163.8-152.8, 5′ 7″). I like it because I can put in anytime I exercise so I get bonus calories that day. It’s free to use the website, and they seem to have a ton of foods already entered.

First time poster, but have been reading for a while. I second sparkpeople. I use their sister site, babyfit.com, since I am nursing. This was a good post, as I just started keeping track of calories again this week, and tomorrow I’m going back to the gym. I don’t know if it’s the same at Sparkpeople, but with babyfit I can set targets for whatever I want (ie calories, calcium, fat, protein). So if I see I have extra calories for the day, but I need more calcium I’ll have a glass of milk rather than empty calories.

I, like Patrick, have been using Sparkpeople and have been enjoying it plus it is free (sparkpeople.com). I have tried some of the recipes and thought they were yummy for low cal. Try it.

Why not try to be a vegetarian again? It’s healthier for you, potentially more in line with your ethical beliefs, better for the animals and the environment, and a way to instantly eliminate a lot of the unhealthy food choices you make.
