DIARY LOGS

I have found the diary to be a success. It helps me to see what i'm eating and how often as variety is really required to stop the boredom. What i did find looking through diary's of others was an incredible insight into what others eat and have found many great ideas. HOWEVER, some i came across made it very clear as to why they don't lose weight.. Whats the point of counting calories when in fact you don't actually count them !!!! You get set a target and its easy to creep over that target , but to blatantly exceed it is just crazy. Some entries were anything from 600 - 900 calories over on a regular basis and they wonder why they don't lose weight. You need to stick to your goals or else you will fail. Loads of people on here are successful and will encourage others to do the same but to see this kind of entry is soul destroying.
