  • OK, I saw this on the TEEN thread! But I like the idea and I think it will keep me motivated. They're posting their food for the day, along with their exercise! I know we've all tried this before, but I'm feeling a bit fed up even though I know I'm doing so well! So I thought writing it down and seeing it on the screen might re-affirm my faith in myself (and any other mumbo jumbo you'd like to add!!)!!

    cottage cheese on 2 sl toast (w/m)
