I am 41 years old and have learned how to manage my weight through training in the service. I was taught to exercise three times a week, eat three meals without snacking each day, and write the food I ate in a journal. That worked well when they were cooking for me and the kitchen was not open all night. Once I got out I gained 120lbs in nine months, suffered the onset of type two diabetes, and failed to follow the regimen that worked for eleven years.
Today that has changed with the help of Fatsecret and my Droid. I plan what I am going to eat and how much I am going to exercise each day while I eat breakfast. Failing that, I check out the foods available for the place I am eating and choose wisely.
Tracking the food and seeing the calories with the nutrition info is powerful! So far, this has the most promise to work for me. I am very happy to have this tool.
