Starting a journal is easy. Just create a new thread, and you're ready to begin ! (Its good to include your username in the thread title.)
Each time you want to add another entry to your journal, just reply to your own thread.
Remember that others might read your thread and may even reply with encouragement or feedback.
There are no rules and you can write whatever you like, and whatever you think will help you in your MFP journey.
For your first journal, you might want to include
A little bit about yourself
A summary of your journey so far, including your motivations and challenges.
What your goals are (short, medium and long term) and why
How you plan to achieve these goals
You can write updates as you go along - including successes, failures or anything in between ! Any lessons that you've learned; any thoughts or ideas that you might have on what you're doing and how to improve it.
You can post as often as you like. Daily, weekly, monthly. Its up to you ! - Its your thread and your journal, and is there to support you in whatever way works best for you.
Accountability is one of the most important factors in changing any behavior. This is a chance to be publicly accountable to yourself.

I lost my journal. It looked like it saved yesterday, and it showed up in the list of discussions. But today it is not there. I tried clicking the All Discussions link and going through the 2 pages available. But it is not there. Any suggestions?0

Somebody else contacted me with a similar problem. I contacted MFP support and they were able to retrieve it. I'll do the same for you. Very strange !

and the 'all discussions' page seems to now be showing all discussions so hopefully the problem is solved.
