I think that would be a nice idea! Kinda like a food diary. Write down your ups & your downs. Write how you were able to turn your negatives into positives & how you were able to accomplish you goals from the begining! Just a suggestion!

HI,

Take a look at Amazon.com because they have plenty of weight loss journals available.

Find a lined notebook, or leather bound journal you like, a pen or pencil you enjoy writing with - and just write. Each day I record my feelings, discoveries, ups and downs. It takes no for except the day and date at the top of the page. Mine is not so much about weight or food, but about me and how I'm handling the changes in my life.

Grab pen and paper and just write!

I use an online journal called Penzu. It's private, unless you want it to be public, so it's a great way for me to 'write' about my journey. I like going back and reading and reliving, and I'm hoping to continue as I progress. I'm only pre-op right now, but I think getting all my thoughts and feelings down in a safe, private space will help me.

Blog, Vlog, Scrapbook, keep notes...I think it depends on what inspires you to keep going. Whatever inspires you, and you'll continue after those first few weeks will help you pick what process will be best for you. EX: I could say I'd scrapbook, but I'd set it all up, and two weeks later set it aside. I'm a writer (by trade), so writing for me is natural. I'm trying vlogging, but that doesn't feel as natural. I'm trying it, but we'll see how it goes.

Do you like visuals? Words? Charts? Excel? I'd go toward what will make you happy. Good luck on your journey.

I wanted to do the same. But I’m far too lazy. I’ll just snap photos of myself with each large milestone or something. I’m down 20lbs in less than 2 wks post op, but at 230 it doesn’t show enough to take the photo. Just my face looks super small.

I plan to just keep my food journal. Will plan to take a monthly photos, and every 6 months or so will have my measurements redone. I will be using microsoft Word because I can add photos and format it any way I want.
