    Hi guys - I'm new to the group. My goal is to keep an accurate food journal and maintain a daily calorie deficit. As the name of the group says - keepin' it green!

    I recently have considered opening up my food diary...I have always thought that was PRIVATE. But another MFP person said it really kept her on track knowing someone might look...hmm. She has been really successful so that made me wonder why I want to keep it private?

    My diary is open. Yes, it definitely keeps you honest. But I also find other people's diaries helpful. For instance I'm stuck in a breakfast rut. Oatmeal EVERY DAY Monday through Friday. I used to eat fast food every morning. Now I would like to mix it up a bit while keeping it simple and healthy. I may get ideas from what other's are eating for breakfast.

    I hope that helps you make your decision :smile:

    Thanks for doing Cycle 2. I found me self being very honest with the food diary. I also found that this past week s lack of shopping led to s lack of planning to s lack of motivation. Funny how that works

    Yes planning is important to me too. I live on a tight budget so I must lay in good supplies or I end up without healthy options.
    It sounds like you got some good insight!

    Goal: 1400 net calories, 2 liters water, limiting sweets to 1 or less a day and 8000 steps 6 days a week but occasionally my step counter gets reset or forgotten on me
    I've been working towards clean eating, limiting my processed food where I can
