    Hi! I logged today! You're so right, why wait until Jan 1st!? I did so well with MFP early in the year, lost a few lbs. The second half of the year, I gained it back, and then some. I'm going to try and log correctly this weekend and watch my plate size during family gatherings.

    I logged and I was 13 calories over. doh. But I'm at 1200 calories so it's not easy. I did manage to get to spin. one step at a time I guess.

    Did you add in some of those exercise calories.

    This is awesome and just what I need! I just saw this thread and am excited to start logging ...in the a.m. whether it is healthy or a little off, as I feeI if I don’t begin now, it may not happen and my body feels more sluggish the more I gain. I am wanting to be and feel lighter and take care of my body with healthy choices like less caffeine and more water and produce. Add me as a friend for support cause I can really use support too. I need to drop 50 + pounds. But I am going to take it one pound at a time.

    I’ll join! One of my goals is to keep logging everything through the new year - with any holiday eating included. I do much less damage when I’m accountable for logging every bite.

    I have logged everything I have eaten so far today. I treat myself to a latte on the days I have my haircut or have my nails done. So today I am using my exercise calories for my latte. Tomorrow I will have to watch myself--I am not going to the gym. I am going to grandson's Christmas program.

    I enjoyed getting to enjoy the time with my grandson. It is going to be super close- I am using my exercise calories today. I have more baking to do, but I think it is going to wait until tomorrow. I feel like sitting in my recliner and knitting.
    Tomorrow is another day.

    It is hard logging my holiday treats! So glad for this thread. It’s motivating me to think twice before I indulge because yep, I’m logging it!

    I am known for just trashing food and treats when they get too much to handle although that might be hard to do with a family in the house. But you were able to handle baking the cookies; I know you can handle the rest :-)

    I logged in today. Gained two pounds. Going out this afternoon for dinner as a restaurant. Spent hours researching the menu so that I know what to order to keep my calories under 1200, ha ha.

    I'm hoping with such preparation I will not monopolize the conversation with diet concerns. I have an eating disorder and tend to be a bit compulsive.

    I'm fighting the flu so my logging is going to be a bit off. The good news is that I'm staying in bed and can't get to the chocolate!
