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.0 -

My very first blog post was about this exact thing.0 -
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.0

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...0
