    log it BEFORE you put it in your mouth

    amazing how this helps stop the mindless eating and hoping


    Sounds like good advice to me!

    LOVE this. 2 days in and let me tell you... I added in an iced capp from timmy's and wouldn't even finish it because I saw the calorie jump in my diary =(

    It is amazing how this helps with your willpower. My husband is amazed at what I can resist...and all because of the numbers in the log.

    My very first blog post was about this exact thing.

    if you logged all 1800 calories you didn't fail! For your first day just logging everything is great. Don't try and be perfect right out of the gate - baby steps. And I agree w/the others 1200 is really low and HARD to stick to.

    Starting MFP definitely changed the way I grocery shopped and cooked. Whenever I go over my calories, it seems to be from snacking too much. What I found helps for me is to type in all of my main meals in the morning before I actually eat any of them, then I have an idea of how many calories I have left over for snacks throughout the day. You can add me as a friend and I'll try to shoot some extra motivation your way! Don't give up :)

    Hm perhaps not such a bad tip after all...
