Do you log before or after

That's what I do! I log in the morning, first thing. It makes me do what I logged I would do! Sometimes I even end up exercising a bit more. I log my food, then change if there were changes. This is how I've been doing it since January, and it's worked out great for me! Good luck!

I try to log before I exercise, as a way to motivate me. It's also a way for me to set an appointment to workout. If I log it, it's a promise I will do it:) However, sometimes I may not do the full amount I put in/or what I do. So I just adjust my exercise log.

I log my exercise after I complete it because I'm not sure of the calorie burn until I've done it.

i go here before bed and log the next days exercise and food- that way i wake up and already know what im eating that day, and what i have to do for exercise that way i dont get distracted/lazy etc. cuz ive already held mysefl accountable. the past couple of weeks ive actually been doing two or three days in advance-i have to tweak it here and there but i feel like it saves me time getting a few days ahead...and i have only changed what exercise i planned on doin once in the past month to be less-but added almost everyday. its kinda like me putting it in ahead of time is my have to, then i go further.

I log my exercise after I complete it because I'm not sure of the calorie burn until I've done it.

Me too.

I pre-log, but a low estimate. I like to plan my meals around it and I tend to exercise at the end of the day. -

i log after i have worked out as i use a HRM

i log-in my food before i eat, but my exercise after. i like to have my meals planned, and it makes it easier to stay within calories during the day when i already know my calorie count for dinner. i never know how long i'll have a the gym (i take my 3 year old with me to stay in the childcare) so i can't write exercise first.

I log my exercise afterward since I don't know how many calories I burned until I check my HRM. I do the same thing with food, since I might eat more/less than I planned.

I thought you were about to ask a question about weighing before or after the toilet

LOL that's what I thought too!

I log after I workout, so I have an accurate number. If I know how many calories I want to burn, I just keep working till I get there.

I log afterwards so that way I make sure that what I am entering is accurate.

Does anyone else think it's better to log your exercise before you hit the gym or wait until after?
I feel like if I log it before I do it makes me push myself to make sure I meet the time and pace I have set for myself.

i logged before and after and have also logged beforehand then made sure it was accurate afterward. I prefer after i've actually done the exercise. I logged in once for 60 min intense spinning and actually did about 10 min of it when I had to quit because it was a back to back class and I just didn't have the energy to do it properly. All friends had already made comments, I felt the need to explain because it wasn't initially accurate. By the same token....don't let strangers you don't really know, know what your gym schedule is. That is reason enough to mix it up. Believe it or not, some of these people on here are not who they represent themselves to be. You might think they are just another lady trying to lose weight. It very well may be a guy. Have you ever noticed how may guys have closed diarys and brief weightloss track records? BEWARE (Obviously a lot are legit)

I log afterwards I'm not sure how much calories I'm gonna burn.

I don't log my exercise until I complete it, because I have no idea exactly how many cals I am going to burn until afterwards. Also I don't want anything showing up on my profile that everyones going to comment on... and I haven't even done the exercise yet. If it was a matter of holding myself accountable to complete it... I may post that I am "going to" to complete a certain exercise at a certain time... but I never pre-log it.

I "pre-log" foods on my workdays because I prep them ahead of time and pack them. But even then I don't close out the diary or anything.... just in case I need to make changes. I want everything I post, and log to be as accurate as possible.
