I had more energy and seemed to run well, but my intestines and bowels weren't pleased with me. We're on basically whole wheat only breads already and I'm no raw sugar fiend, but I'm a terribly voracious snacker; meals I can handle. Basically, I just need something handy to help me tally foods and exercising and come up with a nice result (both on paper and the scale). I may stick with pen, paper or an Excel file for the short term. Thanks for the comments guys! @Russell – I’ll check out myfooddiary.com for sure.

I don't recommend this because I suspect (though I can't prove) that the rapid weight loss is what ended up causing my gallstones. There is a drug a doctor can give you that will prevent formation of gallstones during rapid weight loss, but there are probably other negative side effects that make it a bad idea. A couple of concepts I took out of that experience have been helpful in keeping the weight off though. I avoid white bread and soft drinks, and cut down on beer and the sugar I put in my coffee. I had been using artificial sweetener for a while, but now I've gotten paranoid about foods containing ingredients I can't pronounce.

It has a huge database of food both grocery and restaurant and also calculates exercise, and water intake. Once we hit our goals and retrained our bodies on how to eat, canceling was easy.
