Honest tracking!

Feel free to add me if you want honest tracking, pig-outs and all (if you see my diary today, I was at the Melting Pot and it's all there in gory detail). Honest logging is the only way to keep yourself accountable and to watch for trends that you might need to nip in the bud.

I am brually honest and post my diary as well. There is no sense in hiding anything since, your result will show it anyway! Some days and weeks I do really exceptional and still have no movement on the scale. Other times I eat candy bars, high fat foods, or eat out and will post that too. Cracker barrel and Longhorn Steakhouse are a couple of our favorites, where we can track reasonably due to their website helping us out. I blog on occasion, lose track of tracking when I get super busy with classes, go great on working out then fall off like a stone... lol. I am just human, back on here and finally adding friends to make me more accountable, trying to stay faithfully tracking and finding motivation in the masses here... which has already helped with my third go round on here.

I log daily, weigh everything (that i can) and every single bite gets logged.

I believe IIFYM. So I'm not a clean eater & will eat some "junk" foods or allow myself treats, but i try to stay under my cal goal if i do. Of course, i'm human...so that doesn't always happen. Its there for the world to see. warts and all.


feel free to add me, and other like minded mfp'ers may as well

I only do lie tracking. I took the time to sign up here to lie to myself. I was not meeting my LYING macros IRL. Sorry.

Why do you apologise? You put up a stupid post and then apologise for it. Are you sorry you put it up or just sorry that it was such a stupid thing to do?

Hi, I understand your point. I do allow myself a cheat day on the weekends and occasionally once through the week. Even when I do, I still include it in my logs so I can see exactly where I am. There's no need to cheat or be ashamed of it because no one is perfect, no matter how it may seem. This is a tool to help, not to make you feel bad about your choices. The great thing about this journey is that you can always begin again if you keep a positive mindset and not beat yourself up!

I definitely log everything. I've gone way over my goal caloric intake over the past three days, but it is all a learning experience and I don't think I have anything to gain by cheating. It helps to look at the 7-day (or even the 30-day) reports to see just how many days I've done well, regardless of the bad days. I really feel that if a person keeps logging, no matter how "poorly" they are eating, it will keep one mindful of what they are consuming and will all pay off in the long run.

Please, feel free to add me! I have an open diary and definitely log everything I eat and drink.

I have an open diary too.. good days and bad days! feel free to add me.
