All of the successful losers in my club are diligent about keeping records. They track their food intake, exercise, even how they are feeling from day to day using online logs, apps, or a personal journal. Successful dieters also use weekly weigh-ins and self-measurement to monitor their progress along the way. But don’t drive yourself crazy by writing down every incremental gram of fat or calorie you’ve consumed. Simply take into consideration your personality, and craft a tracking program that is beneficial and manageable for you.
