I am trying (and succeeding) to lose weight too... there is a free site called calorie-count.com which I found two months ago..and it is really helping me. You log everything you eat, and it even counts your sodium and cholestrol intake. With my high BP its so helpful... Yes somethings are more expensive, but most "fresh" veggies are in season right now.. so stock up and freeze some. I havent tried canning anything yet.. but the thought is there, esp when my tomatoes start coming in.
