Who is keeping a food journal?



Recommended Posts

I have never done this before but it was an "order" from the nutritionist and so I started on Jan 20th when I was still on mushies. I aim for 1200calories a day and actually find that keeping a food record is REALLY useful. Anyone else doing this?

I do this too. I log my food on my phone through myfitnesspal.com. I like it because it also keeps track of my weight and updates my ticker. I can log onto it on my phone or my computer.

I am trying to stay under 1000 cal, under 100g carbs, over 60g of Protein and it has been hard. The days i dont measure or log are the days i do horrible.

I love myfitnesspal I have logged like I don't know, four months in a row every single day with that app. I think it really helps to get an idea, and i love that you can track exercise too!

LOL, I am so low tech, I just write everything down. I was vigilant and strict about it then slacked off and found I needed the accountability of writing it down. Journaling has been of great help to me in making good choices.

I have been, but I really don't want to because it makes me feel like I am on a diet. I did WW for years, off and on. Journaling really does work though. :D

I log using an app called Caorie counter by Fatsecret. The apps are very easy. But paper works also. hehe I log most days, but the days I dont arent very good days. Good luck

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
