Many years ago I read a book called The Rotation Diet written by Martin Katahn.  It has stuck with me over the years (while most diet plans have faded away) and I use it from time to time, usually along with another plan. The Rotation Diet states that it is a ...

I am 5' 3" and pear shaped.  I started out the iPad diet at 152.2 pounds.  I should be taking some (gross) photos of my physique but it creeps me out.  I'll have to think about that. I've learned over my dieting years that if I begin on a plan at ...

This is one of my favorite calorie trackers.  It is easy-to-use and very intuitive.  I just found out a new thing about it last night while a passenger in a car.  I forgot my phone (Internet hotspot) at home so was offline.  This was the only app that worked.  I ...

This app is simply called Cal Counter and is by Viaden Mobile, who also produces gaming software.  As you can see from the screenshot, it has a nice colorful interface.  The red line shows your daily food and activity calorie data.  It is easy-to-use and the meals are divided up ...

I got ...

It's really just calorie counting, but I'm using a few apps on the iPad. I started out with about 5 or 6 but I immediately deleted the app that was using metric only. Then I deleted another 1 or 2 because of ease of use and interface. I am now down ...

This has happened before.  I was on Weight Watchers Flex Plan for more than 2 1/2 years.  I got down to my smallest size since Freshman year in high school.  Some people told me I was too thin.  I felt wonderful. But something happened.  First off, when you reach goal (and ...

I know I haven't been on a good eating plan for quite some time now and going back to Weight Watchers Points Plus has been a real eye opener.  I thought I was eating pretty well, although my ever-tightening clothing would suggest otherwise.  I was trying to control my binge ...

To make a long story short, I got sick last year - the big C.  Two surgeries - one major, followed by 33 rounds of radiation and I actually looked good and was near my goal weight because of nausea brought on by radiation.  I was eating very healthy at ...
