OK, I get a lot of questions about my weight loss. Honestly, there is one big secret.... LOGGING EVERYTHING. What I eat, what I do (excercise), my weight....
I use a program called "CalorieKing Nutrition and Exercise Manager" that I bought for $45 last year. Let me just say, I highly recommend it. What this program did for me was make me realize WHAT I was eating. I mean, to come home and log that I ate a Double Quarter Pounder w/Cheese and Large Fries for lunch and see my carbs, calories and fat count shoot into the red, well beyond my "Limits" for the day would blow my mind. And, I would still have to do soemthing for dinner. What that did was make me start thingking about foods BEFORE I ate them. I made me change my eating habits. No, this program does not tell you what you can or can't eat. It just keeps track of what you do eat and makes you think about it.
Now, there were other programs out there, but CalorieKing just gave me the biggest bang for the buck. However, the software program from FitDay.com came in a close second. Now, I know a lot of you are on a budget, or just don't want to spend the money. Well, the people over at FitDay have recently begun offering a "Lite" version of their program for FREE. It's web based, nothing to download. It does not have all the bells and whistles, but the basics are there. I can tell you, if they had this last year, I would have used it instead of plopping out the $45 for CalorieKing.
I still wholly endorse the CalorieKing software, and recommend it. But, for my friends that are wanting to lose 10-100 lbs, and want something cheap or free to try, give the FitDay Free version a try!
