What everyone else says, + 2009 update Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It's a really good program, and I won't add to all the other reviewers because they're all basically saying the same things I would. The only thing I would like that it doesn't have is some sort of desktop (on your PC) app to sync it with, so you could input the food info, rather than using the teeny tiny little stylus on the microscopic keyboard. But hey, it's good exercise, right? ;-) (Oh, and about the lack of support for Palm these days, word! Apparently if you don't have an iPod, you may as well be using two tin cans and a string.)
Simply Wonderful! Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This application is wonderful! I used to honestly wonder why I wasn't loosing weight. I workout 4-5 times a week and consider myself a healthy eater. What I was doing wrong was estimating my calorie intake and I obviously didn't realize how many calories I actually consumed. Well, this program does it for me. For the first time in a long time I am seeing my weight go down!
RN says: this program works! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
by Elizabeth, RN   from Albuquerque, NM

As an RN, I know there's only one weight loss strategy that works: calories IN must be less than calories OUT. Forget fads and complicated programs like Atkins. This program helps you lose weight in the easiest, most straightforward way possible. In 2007, I lost over 30 pounds using this program, and I maintained the weight loss in 2008. Does it take work? Yes. Does it require commitment? Yes. But if you can devote 10-15 minutes a day to logging your caloric intake, you WILL lose weight using this inexpensive Palm program! It works even if you don't exercise. (I didn't in 2007, although I do now.) Best of all, this program doesn't judge you: if you choose to spend your calories on a nice glass of wine or a rich dessert, the program doesn't chastise you. You can feel free to make your own choices and eat what suits you, as long as you don't exceed your caloric intake. I like the fact the program constantly updates to tell you how many calories you have remaining in your food day. That allows you to make your own choices regarding food intake and also to time your eating so you don't feel deprived and binge at the end of the day. I give this program 5 stars!
