sayloldt: Printable Weight Loss Journal: Just How Handy Are They?

Whether you're on a monitored weight loss program or you're studying your
eating habits, having a printable weight loss journal can be a big help.

Usually, these journals include space for your current weight, the food
you ate, and any exercise activity that you did that day. This can be a
real time window that you use to see your weight loss progress and
efforts.

It can also be the foot that kicks you in the butt when you haven't
exercised or given your diet the special attention that it deserves.

For many dieters, keeping a journal of their weight loss journey can have
many benefits:

• It gives you more insight on your progress, day by day.
• It could lead to the discovery of the right combination of dieting
and exercise (for you) that makes the pounds come off.
• It will keep you from cheating because no one feels good about lying
in a personal journal.
• It will increase focus and make weight loss a priority in your life.

There are a wide variety of printable weight loss journals available
online; but feel free to get creative and design a personalized journal
that will inspire you.

Here are some ideas:

• Start a weight loss blog. If you have to tell the world what you ate
every day, you're less likely to cheat. By joining a FREE community-minded
blog service like LiveJournal, you can develop a great support system,
inspire a few folks to follow in your footsteps, leave advice in the form
of a comment on other peoples pages, and receive counsel from those that
have already accomplished their weight loss goals.

• Get technical. Use Excel. Giving each column its own category, you
can make a chart or graph that will show you a visual snapshot of your
progress. And you can even make an automatic formula that tells you how
much weight you've lost, and how much you still have to go.

• Treat yourself to something beautiful. In many stationery stores,
greeting card shops and even booksellers, there are many fun, elegant and
handcrafted journals for sale. Get one that fits your personality, buy a
nice pen and start journaling. You could also cut out pictures from old
magazines to give it the artsy feel of a collage.

• You're on a roll! You can get a roll of paper, stick it on your
fridge, and see all of your progress from the beginning. Use different
colored pens for each milestone, or the food groups, or for when you've
cheated and splurged on a piece of cake.
