Tracking my food and exercise minutes is the first thing I started doing when I began this Journey. I still don't quite understand WHY it is so important, but I think--without those Trackers--I would not be losing weight and it certainly would have been a LOT harder than it has been so far.

Tracking is the only 'weigh' to go!

log on

i log onto sparkpeople.com every morning to track my breakfast. i find this helps keep me motivated throughout the day. if i can't log on from work to track my snacks and lunch, i'll log on again at night to track my food and workouts for the day. starting and ending my day with sparkpeople.com has helped me on my weight loss and better health journey.

Tipping Point Theory

I'm putting a plug in for reading "THE SPARK" ! This concept has made a huge difference in my thinking. Keep doing SP even if we don't see immediate results, EVENTUALLY there will come a time when we hit what Chris calls the 'tipping point theory" and things will start happening for the positive. Example: a friend exercised on treadmill for 4 miles a day for 4 months and didn't LOSE ONE POUND, then she started losing 1 pound a day and has kept it off for over a year! We CAN'T give up! :-))
