Help a newbie with TRACKING!



Recommended Posts

I'd drop the sugars and track sodium instead.

I use MFP, too, but I actually write my food down on paper before I transfer it in anyway. It's all about what works for you!

I created one on word and It's almost done. PM your email and I will send it to you. It's more general-generic (designed for any type of weight loss journey) I'm gonna copyright it but ill be happy to share to those who want it.

I'm going to get it bound sometime next week and will update with pictures! I'm including enough logs for 6 months' date=' until these food choices are just 2nd nature to me.

I have it set up for 7 days of food logs (including exercise and Fluid intake), then a weekly summary page with reflections, patterns, emotional aspects, scale movement, revelations, and goals for the following week. Then, at the end of the month, there is a Monthly Measurement page to review inches lost over the month, as well as weight loss, and BMI. That sequence goes on for 6 months. In the front of the book are some helpful guidelines... A "cheat sheet" per say, of the guidelines given by my doctor and NUT. I also have a few helpful food portion charts, hunger scale, my depressing before pictures, and some inspirational quotes/pictures, etc.

If anyone is interested after you see the final product, I don't mind uploading the PDF document so you can make your own. No sense in recreating the wheel, right? :)[/quote']

I would love to see a pdf of your tracker. I , too, am old school :D I still prefer something I can hold in my hand.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
