It really is helping me Elf70, i took look at how I am tracking for the day to determine if that food item is worth it or not. I am also trying to do long walks - dog sure loves it - to help balance everything out! I am very careful when I eat out and try to avoid carbs as much as possible. The servers look at us funny when we say no bread! LOL last thing i need....
Good Luck to you as well!
