Ok so now I'm spending even more time in the store..do I get to count the walking around on my exercise? Thank you MFP. I am checking labels and reading and debating..etc. I am scanning bar codes and more debating and more reading. Picking and choosing. I refuse to call this a "diet" ..I'm calling it a lifestyle change and am happy to report that both of my adult "kids" are on the bandwagon with me. It's been a long time coming but we WILL be victorious!

    Me too. :-)

    I think it's great though. It's empowering. No more mindlessly throwing crap food into the basket as you walk down the isle. Now, you stop and carefully consider each item you choose to buy. If everyone did that, half of the products on the shelves would cease to exist.

    Same here. I now have the app on my phone that scans the product and gives it a grade for health benefits. Can't tell you how many things I used to buy get a C or below. I'm scanning everything now!

    LOL do you get people staring at you when you are scanning with your phone? I wonder if they think it's a conspiracy of some kind. This is the best phone application and website I have ever been on. I have tried writing this stuff down before and other "diet" control sites and something just different about this one. Makes me WANT to stay on track.
