Reddit reviews DIETMINDER Personal Food & Fitness Journal (A Food and Exercise Diary)

Hello. I've been yo-yoing between dieting and not for about 3 or so years now. I kept telling myself "200 will be my breaking point" meaning that I would have to force myself to get into shape, but I'm now at 230. I started counting calories about 6 months ago, lost 20 pounds, slipped with my diet, and gained it all back. I'm hoping that being accountable on this subreddit will help me keep on track.

Today was day 1. I use a planner to track the day-to-day, specifically this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0963796836/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I try to maintain within the 1100-1300 calorie range and I go to the gym once a week. I just have this habit of doing an all or nothing approach, where I'm really good for a short period of time and then once I slip I cant bring myself to get motivated since I'm disappointed with temporarily failing.

My goals are to be back down 20 pounds by October and hopefully be close to 45 down in January. I would love to be more active and go t the gym at least 3-4 times a week. Hopefully this is the beginning of a permanent life change!

Here this is what I use:

When you get in there and make an account, it will ask you to set your goals. Go ahead and let them walk you through there, and then when you are on the homepage, click goals, select custom, and you can set your macronutrients the way you need them for keto. You can also change what you track if you click on food, and then go to settings on the food page. I track fiber instead of sugar because it makes tracking net carbs easier.

I use MFP every day, but to be honest, I went onto Amazon and ordered a little food journal. I like it better because I can easily leaf through and put in notes about vitamins, how you were feeling etc.

Pen and paper route is fine! I really liked dietminder

i really like this food journal

of course you could go for this dvd/bluray

maybe a pedometer?
