Hi,

I've been trying to lose some weight for a few years now, and can't quite seem to get the logging done right. Basically what happens is that in the morning I'll plan my meals for the day and everything seems like it'll go well, but sometime in the afternoon or evening I'll veer from my plan and won't track it. Inevitably, I'll end up a couple hundred calories over my goal and repeat the process with that fresh "today will be different" attitude the next morning. Anyway, I never end up losing any weight.

What I'm looking for is someone that'd be willing to get a message from me every day at the end of the day with a short blurb saying whether or not I stuck to my plan and if not, what happened. I'm thinking this will be two or three sentences max. I'm not really looking for a "congrats" if I followed through or consolation if I messed up, just a simple "got it" is good. I really think that just telling someone specific (as opposed to my cat or a general message board) will be a good commitment device for me. If you're interested in doing the same, that'd be great.

In case you're curious, I'm 29F, 5' 7'', 165lb student looking to lose about 20 pounds.

Message me if you're interested or have any similar ideas!

    Lol, i was doing that message thing with a friend too (practically every day) and it did help me because she could see everything i ate...including all my giant snack splurges. I had to stay honest though and put in all the extra food i ate :(, that was hard. I am 6"1/2" tall girl, and trying to lose and keep off 15-20lbs, by eating more greens, excercising and God's help.
