Default I'm back

Hi, guys. About three years ago, I went on LC and dropped from 265 to 230
and dropped my LC/HC total about 40 points (with LC also becoming a larger
percentage). In the 2.5 years since then, by just watching carbs without
counting, I've gained 7 pounds, with the thought in the back of my mind that
at some point, I'd like to go it again and get to 200.

My girlfriend now wants to join the LC lifestyle to drop about 30 pounds by
March, I'm starting her on Induction. In the mean time, I figured I might as
well do it again and try to get to my "fighting weight" of 200.

So...this morning, I went looking for the bookmark to the web site that I'd
used for caarb counting and I cannot find it. I don't even remember the
name, but I remember that a couple of years ago, it was real popular and I
used it alot. I do remember that I would enter everything I'd eaten after
each meal and it told me how many carbs I'd consumed to that point. I also
remember that when anyone asked for a recommendation for a carb counting
site, this one was way the most popular in this forum. Does any of this
make sense?

Anyway...let the games begin.

On further searching, I found it...Fitday.

Question...I see that they now have downloadable software for $19.95. Does
anyone use it? is it that much better than the web site?

Thanks

I do, I prefer having the database locally, if you can't get to the website
for some reason it is very inconvenient. I understand it is more
customizable, too, though I only used the website for about one day so don't
have a good basis for comparison.

I like the download. I would have paid much more for software like this.
You have to work with it for a week or two to get used to how food data is
entered, and such. Otherwise, my only complaint is that they have not
upgraded the software and the food database.

I never used to website system, so I can't compare them.

If you're going to pay for diet software, I'd suggest you try the
shareware package LifeForm (http://www.lifefitnes.com) instead of
Fitday. It's easier to use and has a lot more good nutritional
information included in its database. I found it invaluable when I was
in the weight loss phase of my low carb diet.

I suggest the poster try Lifeform first...and if s/he likes it, skip Fitday.
I think you meant http://www.lifefitness.com too.

Crap. Lifefitness is that company that makes dreadmills. It should be
www.lifeform.com for the software .

The big advantage I see is that with the downloadable version you can
combine various ingredients to make recipes. So when I make crawfish
etoufee, I don't have to add in the ingredients manually, or manually
add them together to get a total and enter that.

I used the Web version for a few months and then would have switched
over, but it turns out there's no way to get the data from the Web
version into the software version.

So I'd recommend springing for the software version right away and
using that.
