It's that time of the year---dieting!!

Tweet

People are either going on a diet 'for the holidays' or are going to wait until January 1 (which is on a Wednesday so they won't start then!) but whether today, next week or next year the most important part of getting weight off and keeping it off is to keep track of what you are eating. Yes it is a pain to weigh foods and write down figures but eventually you will get tired of 'losing' weight and finding it again so if you want to get rid of extra pounds the first thing you have to do is write down everything and I mean EVERYTHING you are eating for at least 2 weeks. I made this chart up when I started Our Weigh in Memphis and it was/is the most successful tool when it comes to getting rid of weight. It can also help those of you who have medical problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. Spend some money on a postage scale and you are on your weigh----oooppppssss! Sorry! That should be way! :O) Print out the chart and start keeping track now!
