I am not one of those blessed people who can just casually watch what they eat, walk around the block and lose weight.
I have to fight tooth and nail, and trick my body to let go of the flab. As soon as my body realizes what I am trying to do, it rebels and I have to be a quick change artist and switch it up. For this reason, I find I have to keep track of what I eat and when I eat it. I have tried writing in a journal, but I like reports that show me a breakdown of macronutrients at the end of the day. I have tried the Weight Watchers thing but "points" doing translate well to the real world for me. It works for some, but I don't care for it. My newest addiction, is sparkpeople.com. LOVE IT! I enter my foods based on my food labels or by searching their database for existing foods. I find it helps me see where I spend my calories and how to plan my days from an eating perspective. I also track my workouts there. It is one stop shopping.
Will I still be using it in a month? I hope so, but we all know how fickle I am :)
