From Philly.com comes these 10 tips you can do right now. I especially like the lat one of taking a picture of what you eat. Maybe I should add that feature to the app!

Several users have asked for multi-user support an an iPad specific version, so that will be the next version. The iPad version will be universal, meaning you will not have to buy the app again if you already have it.

One question, for multi-user support, would you require a password to access your information? Send email or comment below to let me know.

A rather long, but really good article in the NYTimes about how are bodies may be working against us to lose weight.

Very informative article on Wired on why Sugar Makes Us Sleepy and Protein Wakes Us Up.

Some take aways for weight control/loss tips:
1. Eat protein with every meal
2. Never consume sugars without protein
3. Protein snacks are better than carb snacks

Some nice changes this time around:

1. Searching is improved to perform keyword based search, so ‘baked ham’ and ‘ham baked’ return the same results. I also plan on taking words like ‘cooked’ and translating them to the USDA abbreviations, which in the case is ckd. It should also help improve searching.

2. Grouped Items! Yes you can now use group items together to make a group. So you can create a new group called ‘Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich’ and add in all the components.

3. Track by meal time instead of by time. A new option will allow you to track by Meal type, e.g., ‘Breakfast’, as opposed to entering the time in all the time.

Should be submitted to the Apple this weekend for approval.

From CNN comes this relatively easy article on 4 rules to lose weight.

We all know as we get older the harder it is to lose weight. These tips from this article at MSNBC.com shows how, for certain age groups, what you can do to lose weight.

If you have updated to iOS 5.0, then the remaining budget for the day will no longer appear on the app icon unless you go into the iPhone notification center under the iphone settings app and make sure that TrackIt has notifications enabled.

I’m trying to figure how to have the app do it but so far no luck.

The Huffington Post ran this article on weight loss plateaus. The point it makes is that your body may not be ‘adjusted’ to your new weight, but rather you may be slipping back into old habits. Good read.
