I love iphone....

A few months ago, Lesli bought me the cutest spiral notebooks to track my points with. Unfortunately, they are so cute, I started using them for work instead of points tracking! I have really tried to make a better effort at writing everything down. My recent gains have me really focused on making sure that I am doing all the right things to keep my weight going down instead of up. I have an iphone.....and naturally I LOVE it. I found the perfect application to track my points and activity for the day. I ALWAYS have my phone on me, and it takes just a second for me to plug in a point or exercise value. I also have an application where I can plug in the WW formula, and figure out how many points something has. I have only been using it for a few days, but it is SO helpful. The name of the app I got was iWatcher. Has anyone else found an application that they would suggest?
