Have completed my first week on this and so far am enjoying it. Seeing what I’m eating, and making choices about that, because I know whatever I eat, I must write down. And trying to do 3 lots of exercise a week, more if I am up for it (the exercise DVDs I’m doing certainly make me feel it for the next day!). Just have to make sure I don’t do the same type of exercise two days in a row, to give muscles a rest. 3 years ago

Just haven’t started tracking it yet. So I will start this on Monday :) 3 years ago

Also a good way to sort out your calorie intake for the day. Even if at the start you’re getting more calories than you should, through practice you’ll get the right balance. It might be a bit of a boring goal, but I plan to keep track of this every day :) 3 years ago

I’ve actually been doing this. Not as much as I should… but I’ve been doing this. I bought one that I love. It’s the size of a CD case… and I got it from www.fitbook.com

Get one! It really makes you realize what the hell your putting into your body!

I also use online sources to check the calories in things. 4 years ago

... But I’d love to do it for 3 months. It is really useful and really helps me to stay on track.Not a single day has passed where I have exceeded 2000 calories (most days I have around 1500!) and I have exercised on EVERY DAY BUT ONE! I am very happy with myself and this has only been possible by getting my boyfriend to agree to having an exercise machine (a crosstrainer) at his place too so I can exercise there too. I feel fantastic… at the moment and my clothes feel slightly better on me already. 6 years ago

I only do this Monday through Friday. I just forget to jot things down on the weekend. And when I eat out…well good luck getting all the nutritional info on restaurant food. I guess I’ll keep this up a while longer though. 5 days out of the week isn’t SO bad. 6 years ago

I’ve been very good about writing down everything I eat. However, I don’t think that means I’m eating any healthier. So my pal Jody sent me her Weight Watchers info. I hear that WW is very useful for some people. I just don’t want to pay the money to join.

I’m going to try and stick to the Flex or Core plan…whichever is easiest. 6 years ago

I’ve been keeping a log for a week. I like this better than trying to stick to a rigid diet. I eat healthier just because I’ll feel guilty and won’t want to write down that I ate 3 Big Macs and a super biggie sized Coke. I feel so much better when I can write down I ate carrot sticks and an apple. 6 years ago

i did this when i was pregnant and learned a lot about what i eat and my eating habits.i also learned a lot about food and nutrition and how much i really eat or don’t eat. it’s a good way to stay motivated on a diet as long as you are truthful. 6 years ago
