Any one doing this? If you are do you feel its a very important part of your success?

I log everything that goes in my mouth on fitday.com. When I'm not tracking my food I go astray and end up gaining weight (its much easier to eat crap when you don't have to write it down). I also hand in my food logs to my fitness practitioner so he can look at it. I think its an integral part of my success.

I'm starting to do the journal again to get back on track. I think I did much when I tracked the food. I'm using "myfitnesspal". Very easy to use.

Great... thanks!

No problem :) I like fitday because you can track your calories, exercise, weight goals, etc. But I know a lot of people use dailyplate and some other ones as well.

I keep a journal. It really helps me to stay focused. I put in how much exercise I am getting. Also, I keep track of how many grams of Protein, ounces of Water, and the Vitamins that I have taken. Sometimes, I write my thoughts and feeling about things but not too often. I do most of that on this website. :) Also, I put my daily weight. It is refreshing to see it go down in print.

I started a mini-goal of losing 30lbs by New Years and decided to start a food journal to keep myself accountable. So far I've lost 10lbs in 10 days. I use fitday and keep a photojournal of most of my meals on picasa. *note, sometimes I'll have the same thing for lunch as dinner, so I'll only post one pic of those meals. Also, I don't take pictures of my liquids like Protein Shakes or yogurt.

Journaling has *really* helped me.

Do you have an Iphone? I use an app called loseit! It's convenient since I always have my phone with me, I was even able to setup reminders so my phone will beep to keep me from forgetting to log. I am 14 mos since being banded & it is one of best tools!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
