we also made a notebook with all of our goals/guidelines:

-keep food journal/exercise log

-exercise 3-4x/wk

-plan weekly meals

-drink h20-dont waste calories by drinking them

-skip an appetizer/bread basket while eating out

-no eating past 8:30pm

 

in this notebook we record our food for the day and what exercise we've done....its easier then logging on-line every time we eat and we leave the notebook outon our coffee table so it;s a constant reminder! We also make healthy lists of dinner ideas and plan what we want before we go shopping for the week...this has worked really well...and saved us money too!!!
