Food journaling is the best way for me to keep accountable about my food intake. Now it’s been taken to a new level at myfitnesspal.com – and I log everything there as well. Most of the foods are now entered and it will tell you the calories, carbs, fat and sugar for ya. It does the majority of the hard work, and all you have to do is enter it. I’m back on food journaling because it helped me think skinny and figure out my downfalls and positives of the day. Accountability is key to success for me.

It’s funny that half of the winner’s names start with K.

I sometimes try to track my food, but find it too tedious for the most part.

I was doing Weight Watchers up until a few months ago when I had to stop going to meetings for financial reasons, so I’m familiar with the “old” program. Are fruits all zero points now? I noticed those zeros next to the fruit so I thought I’d ask!

Congrats to all of the Larabar winners!
I have never kept a “true” food journal before (just counted calories), but I probably should at some point just to see how much fat/protein/carbs I’m getting. I don’t know much about the new WW program, but it sounds SO interesting. I really want my mom to check it out!

I keep a food journal on and off just to check myself. I think it’s a great habit really and I’m trying to get my mom to remember to keep one since she is trying to lose weight.

I am so excited I won! I love larabars! Thanks!!

I was thinking the same thing in regards to your calories. I love the idea of writing down what I eat when I need to get back on track but I think I would lose patience with the points system. I can’t wait to hear more!
Have a great weekend, Nicole!

wow…I would never guess that you would even need a program like WW. I guess, as a dietitian, I don’t believe in programs like this bc they can be hard to follow, restrictive, and not teach normal eating patterns. I DO feel like WW is better than 99% of other diet programs out there though and I DO think people tend to keep their weight off on this program more than any other! ALl I can do is wish you luck lady!! Happy weekend (ps. not trying to sound harsh AT ALL and I know it’s hard to tell in a comment…so just saying!) 🙂

I am an avid food journaler. It is what helped me get my body back (and in better) in shape after having our daughter in 4 months. I still keep up with foods so I don’t veer but it isn’t as close to the letter as it was.
