I know a while back we had weekly threads going for food journals, water journals and exercise journals. They really helped me, so I am going to try to start one up again. I have never been very good at true food diaries, so what I am going to try to do is just post how I did the past day. Please feel free to post how you are doing also, and change the format to whatever works best for you. It always helps me to stay accountable.
