    I have a pill organizer. I've been using one since 08 since I was being put on a lot of medications that required me to take them 2+ times daily and there was no way I would remember them without being able to physically see if the slot for the day was empty or not. Luckily my prescriptions went to a one in morning, one in evening regimen so I just got a weekly AM/PM organizer that I put on my desk and put my vitamins in with them. It's just easier and I only have to bother with it once a week to restock it.

    I take them after dinner. It easier to remember at night then in the morning for me. I'm also more likely to eat dinner than I am to eat breakfast.

    I always forget to take them! So.. lately I have been taking them at dinner.

    I LOVE the idea of logging them into MFP! Will do so. Since I can't swallow pills I have the the gummy bear type which of course is a calorie.. that would work!!! Thanks for the idea!!!

    I put the bottle beside my deodorant in the medicine cabinet, so right after my shower I use both.

    I have only started taking a few supplements again after several years of not taking any. I have often heard and read that it is best to take most vitamins after a meal so that they will be most effective. I generally take mine after eating supper (dinner). The easiest way not to forget is to put them on the table when serving the meal. Also, I record my vitamins in my food diary so that helps me remember as well.

    I keep them in the cabinet where my coffee cups are so I always see them! I also log them in MFP daily...

    I have to take meds 2x a day with meals and I could never remember if I'd taken them so I got a weekly pill container. Fill it once a week plus I started logging it too.

    I take them before I go to bed at night. I put them above the fridge, so when I get my water out I also remember to take my vitamins.
