Well, you inspired me to start counting my calories :)
I found an awesome app for my phone called "My Fitness Pal". I've counted calories before and this is easier than any website/app I've used. One big reason--if the food you are eating is packaged you can use your cell phone camera to take a picture of your barcode and it automatically adds it! Amazing! Also it learns from you so as you track your foods its easier to add those foods again---so were I to have grape tomatoes and feta cheese for a snack tomorrow it'd be a cinch to add.
It also can track exercise and water intake :)
Brilliant. So far I'm on track for keeping calories around what I burn for the day...but have gone beyond the target number I need to meet to lose a pound per week...I love how counting calories really helps you become aware of where you can blow it--so quickly. Ouch.
Those late night sweet fixes are killing me.

Woohoo!! Yeah, I like the ease of counting calories with these technological advances :)
One thing I'm trying to do (and failing more often than not) is to stop eating after dinner. Even if it means brushing my teeth and downing two bottles of water. But I think that whole "Don't eat two hours before bed" or whatever it is, really works.
