My downfall was milk. Even skim milk has a lot of calories and I was drinking too much. I cut that out and am monitoring what I am eating. I am trying to ride my bike 5 miles 3 times a week but with 3 kids playing baseball, finding the time is difficult.

I have a blackberry phone. I tried using a similar app called Fat secrete. My biggest issue was tring to find certain foods and figuring out portions. It was a big pain in the @ss.

My Fitness Pal is linked to a database that includes LOTS of foods and portions. For me it is not exact science. It is a tool to wake me up to what I was doing wrong.
