Hello! I shall be keeping a food log here. I want to be able to look back at what i've had in the past, not just today, and i'd love help and comments.

I am on day 30 of my diet, so i'm not gonna go back and list all the weight tracking i've been keeping the past 30 days, i'm just gonna jump in.

First of all, I will also be including pictures of myself for keeping track of how my body changes through weightloss. Right now I can't because I don't have 50 posts yet, but i'll put them up as soon as I can.
GOT 50 POSTS! PICTURES AHOY!

Also, I update my log throughout the day, so if you see something like just coffee as the total, I haven't updated it yet. But I will have the total up by the end of the day or early next morning.

Anyway, this was the introduction, i'm gonna make the second post my picture/goal post, and then everything after that will be the log and notes and any conversation. And I love talking, so feel free to chat with me!

Hi Alyssa it might be easier to log your food on My Fitness Pal. You can also open up your food diary and have people comment there. Their food database is really good! I think there's a bunch of us on MFP that are on this site as well. You can add me as a friend - I'm zweezer99 on MFP.

i actually joined that site and didn't like it. i like how i'm counting calories now. i keep it on this forum and 2 others, in total i count my calories in 5 places every day.

I agree... If you have a smartphone download the app MyFitnessPal... If not, you can always go to their website. It makes life so much easier!! JeffBrown3 is my ID there if you want to add me.

On another note, your foods look really well balanced. Great job!!

i have a smartphone, but not for long. i just write stuff in my physical log, and then put it online. i prefer doing it this way, honestly.

and thank you. i try to eat healthy, and it helps that i enjoy things like apples and brussel sprouts.
