@Pusha89<br>Hiya the idea is you write what you eat, seeing it in black and white makes you rethink your choices, also friends can offer encouragement and support ;)

@Pusha89<br>Hi! Basicaly its a calorie count system, where you just but in whatever you ate and how much calories there were in. I get the most informations from the packages of the ingredients I've bought or online. Just but in google: calories apricot f.e. and you will find the information you want. <br>The beginning is hard, but after a few weeks you know a lot about the food you normaly eat and also the drinks and so its not so much work to figure out the calories you ate anymore. <br>If you do some workout you are alowed to deduct the burnt calories, which motivated me a lot to do more training.<br>I would also suggest to figure out how much calories your body need each day (I found this also online), so you can set yourself a target (f.e. 200 calories a day less then your needs). <br>Good luck! I lost 15 lbs by using this tool, so I can say it works!

@LorraineRideoutComo Hagohago cerrar la Cuenta???? Quien me Ayuda?!

@mel_o_c<br>hi! yes... self-control is difficult... is the main problemm to diet... isn´t it?<br> what about this 7days soup diet? perhaps it works in your case, to lost weight quickly

@mel_o_c two words Dukan diet its hard to stick to for the long term but you'll easily loose a stone in a month<br>

@mel_o_c Hi. Go easy on yourself somedays our body needs more food than others. In my own experience, there has been days where I felt constantly hungry and ate loads and end up losing one or two pounds of just staying the same! Do you work out? That increases metabolism at times. Just cut down over the next few days, eat healthily don't deprive yourself. Try cutting back on any white foods and add a lot of veggies and salad to your diet. Drink lots of water and go to a gym class. It will even itself out. It doesn't sound like you have ate too much anyway your calories intake would probably have come to about 1800 x

@Lewis479 that's awesome!...since i've been on twye (2 yrs in april) i've lost about 40 lbs. and i totally agree that counting calories not only becomes a way of life, but really helps me focus on what i'm eating...pretty cool!

@Lewis479 I've been on here on and off since the end of 2009. How do you guys find the time to always TWYE, and what happens if you forget (it seems to completely throw me off track)!

@MissRoxyOneill I've been tweeting off and on for about a year. I find it helpful. To streamline the process I'll make several entries in a single post, maybe wait till lunch and post for all morning, or at same time post things I plan to eat later in day. Keeps me off computer so much and helps me plan ahead and stay on track.

@Lewis479 Yeah for you. I'm down 20 pounds from when I started (off and on). At one time was down 30, currently working to surpass my all time twye low. Do know it has taught me I CAN DO IT. Don't need to be overweight all my life. Wish I learned the lesson sooner, but also glad I'm learning it now. Thanks TWYE

@messismile The best low cal meals are fresh home made ones with a good mixture of veg with a small amount of meat. I know the same veg everyday can be boring so mix it up and experiment with different spices and herbs. Potatoes should be classed as a main carb, so limit these to the same portion as you would having portion of cous cous, bread or pasta when combining with the veg mix and fresh meat. When aiming for a healthy low cal diet aim for your plate portions to be 2/4ths veg mix, 1/4th meat (Not too much red meat though aim for fish or chicken) and 1/4th main carb and you should fill up easily, feel fuller for longer have a good balance of nutrients and be taking in lower cals.<br>My simple meal I had after the gym that I believe helped me loose my weight and tone up was sticks of raw, carrot, celery, cucumber, red &amp; yellow pepper, tomato with humous and oven cooked chicken pieces. The raw veg was quick and easy, the chicken gave me high protein and the humous was my main carb.<br>Have fun, experiment and fill up on veggies :D

@messismile I love recipe books and have many. The South Beach Diet books have some good recipes. Also, some old standbys that are meatless/low fat are Laurel's kitchen and anything by Molly Katzen. Epicurious.com has some great, recipes... Oh, and hungrygirl.com has some good ideas for recipes.

@messismile<br>Hi! You can do a lot of different meals with low carb! Just take mixed vegetables and stir frie it with f.e. scallops, shrimps, chicken breast or something with just a little bit of oil. You can add spices however you want and you dont have to be an experienced cook to do so. Yesterday I fried some scallops and added a package of mixed vegetables from Walmart and it was delicious and finished after 10 minutes. If you have any questions, just contact me :-)

@meemster thanks for the feedback. I like your suggestion about the stats and goal tracking is in development. It will allow you to set a daily calorie goal based on a new, integrated BMI calculator that takes into account your height, weight, age, gender and activity level to help you set a default daily calorie goal and you can see a chart of how you're progressing towards that goal. It is nearly complete. We're considering launching it as part of a more feature-rich premium offering.

@meemster, using the #twye hashtag versus @twye shouldn't make a difference with respect to parsing the photos. I'll go into your Twitter stream and test process one of your posts with the #twye to see what's going on...

@jackiedpepper you're talking about days complete per month which appears at the top of your diary. Yours now reads 35, correct? Clearly there's a problem there - consider those extra days bonus points for now. In the meantime we'll look into it! Thanks for bringing it up.

@Homeflower I'm waiting for our company to arrive and so far I'm eating exactly what I already posted -- so far so good.<br><br>Now I just have to get through the evening without eating too much junk.

@Homeflower I ate less than I thought I would - hardly had any peanuts at all; only had 4 or 5 chips and a couple pretzels. I also only had 3 chocolate martinis and 2 Blue Light beers.

@jimboelter hello there, it's been a while! I'll add a link that allows you to toggle between web and mobile views. I'll probably want to overhaul the mobile experience in the not-too-distant future too to include edit capabilities and more. I should be able to get it on the site in the next week or so... Great suggestion, nice to see you back!

@aressidi Hello back, and thanks! I am happy to provide some suggestions on the mobile view, let me know and I will take a few minutes to put them in an email. Thanks for the support!

@jimboelter I would love your feedback/ideas on how to improve the mobile view. When you get a chance, send your feedback to me at: alex@tweetwhatyoueat.com. Looking forward to it!

@labellamireya Joining a gym and this website is a great start. Welcome!

@unfamiliarsound Welcome back

@Homeflower welcome back! Where did you go on vacation?

@aressidi We went to Seattle for a couple of weeks. Beautiful area!

@Homeflower I find it easiest to text in what I'm eating while I eat it, and then when I'm home, or not chasing around my toddler, research the calories if I don't already know.

@acohen843 <br>Hi. 13 servings for EVERYONE is too much! 5-7 servings sound about right for most of us with up to 13 servings for some. In addition, fibre from 13 servings will generate a lot of unpleasant gasŅ

@acohen843 But eating fruits in the night is not good, because you don't consume inmediatly the sugar from them. I am right or not?

@aressidi I dropped breakfast almost permanently, rarely eat lunch and eat a good satisfying dinner and night time snack. I find my weight is better and I have more energy all the time. <br><br>I'm not sure if this is the key to longivity but it seems to be the trick to a more effecient operating system.

@aressidi<br>My partner only eats two meals a day, he has a big bowl of muesli in the morning and a cooked meal with meat veg and salad or veg at night, he has always stayed lean and always says we don't need to eat lunch, however he gets really grumpy and almost aggresive late afternoon as his energy levels dip!

@inna1992 Here's a link for how to make low fat oven baked french fries. I've tried it and in my opinion they are even better than the original .<br><br>http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-low-fat-oven-baked-french-fries<br><br>enjoy :)

@lmh74<br>Hi, welcome to TWYE! <br>I restarted today after a short trial last year. This time I am really determined! I saw u exercise a lot, which is great...unfortunately I am a real couch potato! :)<br>Good luck and keep up the good work

@lmh74 Hey I'm new too &amp; need encouragement! Have added you :)
