I know I've mentioned this before when you spoke about Fitday, but
have you looked at http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk ?

I have, but it only lasts 3 days before you have to pay for it, and I'm
unemployed, just now.... plus I spend what money I have on my
skating.....

I'm not really a fan of logging or journalling, which is partly
because it doesn't fit well with my tendency to an "all or nothing"
approach which is part of the binge eating problem, and leads to me
giving up if I go over my desired calorie level, etc.

Yes, I can see how it would. But, actually, just posting what one has
eaten on here would, I imagine, keep one in reasonable bounds, even if
the actual calories/proportions eaten were not calculated.

Actually, the trouble with *any* calorie counter, whatever its
nationality, is that it never seems to have the sort of food one
actually eats; it's all ready-meals and pre-prepared foods! I already
know what's in them - it tells me on the packet! Much harder to know
how many calories one has eaten in a helping of home-made pizza, or even
home-cooked (and home-caught!) baked trout with (packet) white wine
sauce, boiled new potatoes and broad beans, and steamed cabbage and
cauliflower, which is what I propose to give my guests on Thursday
evening!
