    Hello!

    Yes, I find that tracking your food makes you more aware of what you are eating and by doing this, it also helps put things into perspective.

    Feel free to add me as a friend, if you would like. :)

    Hello :) It DEFINITELY helps! I've been using MFP for the last few months and I've learned so much about what I'm eating. I actually find it fun and exciting especially once you get closer to your goal. Feel free to add me!!

    Yes, tracking my daily intake does help me to lose weight. I am much more conscious of what and how much I eat because I know that I am going to have to log it and see the resutls in black and white. I have recently been lazy, but a couple of years ago I was tracking what I consumed for every meal each day, was walking 3 miles a day about 5 days a week, and lost 20 lbs in about 3 months. I have gained a little of that back, but have kept most of it off by just changing my eating habits a little (eating less at meals even if I eat some unhealthly foods), and I'm also drinking lots of water and NO soft drinks! Now, I'm on a mission to lose a few more lbs; I'm tracking again and using MFP!! :smile:

    I've not tracked on mfp, but I did on WW. It does help with putting things in perspective. Seeing how foods combined helps or hurts your weight loos, or gain. I'm trying it here as well!

    Absolutely! I didn't track for two weeks over the holidays because I was traveling, and I was up almost 6 pounds when I got home. Tracking helps you watch portions as well as which foods pack load up the calories faster. I definitely need to track everything I eat or it's very easy to go off the rails.

    Hi, I'm new on this too. I've never tracked food before, but I can see it keeping me in line. It's hard to ignore when its all in front of you. It's not only helping to keep my calories under control, but the protein /carb/ fats ratio also... inspires me to make better choices.

    Hello, I'm new to the board as well. I've been tracking for only a couple of days so far, but it has opened my eyes to exactly what I am putting into my body, which I think will allow me to see what I am doing wrong or right. I'd be more than happy to be your friend, good luck on your journey!

    I think tracking day is a great way to be accountable for everything you eat. I track my exercise here as well. Add me if you want - I'm here every day!

    Tracking?
    yerp, definitely.
    but It also depends on how honest we are in tracking , and at the same time how guilty we felt after over eating :)

    actually, once you get used to it, you would mentally track each and every time you eat your food, and that is reallt great
