I go to Sparkpeople.com and plug in my food there. They count the calories for me so all I have to do is throw the info at them. Some people don't have to count calories. Others only need to count until they get pretty used to what a decent portion size is. For me though it really opened my eyes to what I was eating. When I started I figured out pretty quickly that I was taking in 2500 calories a day. I was pretty shocked honestly. I keep at it now and try not to go more than a day without inputting my stuff so I know what damage I did or if I was a good girl!

I use loseit.com because the mobile app is convenient and can sync with my fitbit account. It also has a nifty barcode scanner.

Exactly! It's a great way to get quality feedback about the effect your diet has on your progress, and then make adjustments. :)

Oh wow! I always forget about the scanner. That is a huge benefit!

I'm a big fan of lose it.com

I LOVE Lose It! Been using it for two years or so now, and it's really helped me. I almost wish it had time logging though, because I bet if I had that data it would be useful as well...but that could get to be a pain.

Anyway, send me a message if you want to friend me up...and then I'll have to figure out how. ;)

I use my fitness pal. I really like it. It has a scanner option as well. I've had to use it a few times in the last week.

Continued success on everyone's journey!

i use my fitbit and myfitnesspal...though I have stopped logging in my food diary. Mostly because my calorie intake is always the same. I average between 1200 and 1600 calories. Which is good considering I havent had a fill yet.

Logging is a tool we can use to get (and stay!) on track, but it's okay to not be a slave to it if you've got it under control.

I feel like I am pretty good about eyeballing my food and being consistent, but I still use Lose It! It keeps me honest, especially when I cheat. :P

I use myfitnesspal each day. when I don't I tend to over eat, not bad food, just more than I should. it helps me to be accountable to me!

It is so easy to have a little of this or that and not realize how much they "cost"!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
