Hi M2M! This message board is great, isn't it? Everyone I've seen has seemed really supportive, and I love reading other people's diaries when I get a chance. It's comforting to know that other people are dealing with the same things, and also inspiring to see someone succeed in his or her goals.
I've always found counting
calories to be frustrating (it's okay if it's packaged food that has the calorie content listed right on the side, but if it's not, it leaves me scratching my head and going "HUH?" :P) Thanks for mentioning fitday and foodfacts - I'll have to check them out. Maybe it'll make things a bit easier!
Good luck to you!
