8 weeks
 

Today marks 8 weeks of tracking calories and exercise.

This is the longest I've ever tracked calories. I've lost weight before, and I know how to do it without tracking. And it the past I have. I'll track for a few weeks to get me going and then stop. And I do OK for another month or two, but eventually I stop doing OK and find myself back where I started.

So this time there's no stopping. I'll keep tracking no matter what and 8 weeks in I'm still going strong. Yay me!

In the past, I was all about the challenges: lose 6 lbs by this date! Exercise this many times in a week! This time I have just one goal: keep tracking those calories.

Thats great! What do you use to track? I have been working with the sparkpeople.com it seem to track pretty well for me.

I use fitday. I don't love it, but I've used it in the past so all my old data is there and I don't want to give that up.

congrats to you :)

today marks 8 weeks for me too. (nerd irony = starting a diet on pi day - 3/14)

well, i tracked on the 14th, i didn't start bringing them down until the 15th. one last hurrah so to speak. i track with 'myfitnesspal' and the app on my phone has made all the difference.

That's fantastic, I'm so happy for you! :D Now you know you can do it, so just keep DOING It! :D You'll be where you wanna be in no time!
