Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. All of the sites I have tried have downsides. I was using Fitday for quite some time but suddenly it won't let me log on and won't send me an e-mail so I gave up even though it is full of my personal data.
The latest one I am trying is SparkPeople because I saw that a favorite blogger, Cammy, uses it. But geez Louise! In four days I have gotten , and I counted them up, 15 e-mails from them. I have gone back in and readjusted some of the preferences that I missed the first time in, so it should get better.
Also, it is hard to find the content through all the ads. I am sure my eyes will adjust to that, too. When I have a month worth of entries I will evaluate the site and see if I like it. At this moment, I am thinking that paying the $9.00 a month for myfooddiary.com isn't so bad!
Anyone else using online journaling?

I've been tracking my weight and exercise on fitday for ages. Sometimes I track what I eat.
I'm using Weight Watchers and am happy with it. No ads and almost no emails. Of course, I'm paying for a membership...
Thanks for the mention! I'm glad you're trying sparkpeople. I had forgotten about all the emails! When I recommend it in the future, I need to add a note about adjusting your email preferences.
I haven't tried any of the other online food diaries, but lots of folks are having success using them. You'll find the best fit for you!
