Before we get in to too much discussion about how to create, keep, update, and assess a food journal, you need to know what you are getting yourself into. Chances are that you kept a diary when you were younger. Think of a food journal as a type of diary dedicated to food instead of what you think and feel about what you did on any particular day. Unlike the diaries when you were a kid, a food journal does not have to be flashy or beautiful; it just has to be functional. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , , ,

This is the final weight loss diary entry that I will be publishing because although I was still half pound (225 grams) short of my target weight on Friday April 14 I extended this session by another couple of days to make my target. Sunday's weigh-in saw my weight at 180 pounds (89 kilo's) the target I set on February 5 when my weight was 198 pounds (98 kilo's).
From 25 thru 1 April.
This weeks weight loss diary could be the penultimate because after my Friday weigh-in I am down to 182.5 pounds (90.3 kilograms), just 2.5 pounds above my target figure. Last week I reported 186 pounds (92 kilo's) but the scales were just below that figure so I guess I have shed a little over 3 pounds this week. That is way too much to lose in one week. A general target rule is1 pound each week if you want to keep it off, 3 is much too high. Related Article Tags: , , , , ,
