"The BEST I've used yet. I've used several and this is by far the most accurate."
Pros: The program is dynamic and learns based on your average loss over a week. It properly calculates your BMR based on average weight loss vs calories eaten. Calculates your activity levels based on information you provide and has thus far been right on the money. My wife and I have been very impressed losing an average of 8-lbs a month just from exercise and eating right - basing our nutritional input on this programs recommendations. Prior to using this program we've only been able to lose 3 to 4 lbs a month by excercising and guessing how much we needed to eat.
The program is overall easy to use - it does have a learning curve of about two or three days to really understand how to input data - user defined foods, etc. Definately worth the $50 price tag. I've used others that were equally and or more expensive and not been as impressed. There's a couple of programs out there that are free and seem to be OK - but no comparison to this one. I worked in the fitness industry many years ago and still work in healthcare - this is definately a tool worth having wether you want to lose weight, gain muscle, increase your cardio-vascular fitness or all of the above.
Cons: The only improvement would be to have a heart rate and blood pressure tracker built in as a monitor for overall fitness. But the developer sent me an e-mail stating those features would be included in the 2006 release. The tutorial could be better.

"Excellent program, excellent support"
Pros: Good food data base and the ability to modify and use your recipes. Weight feature is an excellent motivational tool. METS values are also a new and important thing for me. Great support, how often do you get to communicate with the software writer.
Cons: Online context help could be a little deeper and have more detail.
