In loosing weight I have found it helpful to write down what you eat. I have used various software programs in doing this and one of the better ones that I have found is from Keyoe. I have been using their software since version 4. It gets hard to keep track of this type of stuff and they have various programs for all sorts of your portable devices. Not only do they have a portion of diet but they also have the exercise portion with graphs. Any software that has graphs built in is nice since it gives you a way to keep track of where you were at and how much you are fluctuating. The hardest part is writing down everything you eat and your workout routine.

I am not saying go out and buy any particular software package. I am saying keep track of what you are eating and do it in a way that is easy for you. A simple spread sheet is easy to work with as you can modify it to do what you want it to do.  You can use a ledger if you are not into using computers or other software packages. Just make sure you are doing things simple for you.
