Thin for Life Daybook: A Journal of Personal Progress-Inspiration & Keys to Success from People Who Have Lost Weight & Kept It Off [Bargain Price] [Paperback] Review

Thin for Life Daybook: A Journal of Personal Progress-Inspiration & Keys to Success from People Who Have Lost Weight & Kept It Off [Paperback]After reading the reviews for this journal, I placed it on my wishlist and received it in the mail today.I am very disappointed with it.
There are many good points about the book:It has a complete year in one book, the quotations/inspirations, the recipes.However, the space to record your daily intake is way too small.There is no room to write your daily weight, the date, the calories, fat, protein or carb grams....or points, if you're doing Weight Watchers as I am.
The book is broken down by weeks.The first page for the week is Weekly Wisdom.It's great.Very motivational, informative, and excellent for a journal. This section is reminisce of the author's wonderful book, Thin for Life.The next page is Weekly Forecasts.It has a section for Goal(s) for this week, Anticipated Obstacles, Possible Solutions, Exercise Plan and finally Try this for Supper.That all takes up one page.Then The next two pages are the journal for the week. The first page of the journal has room for Monday through Thursday, with each broken down into Morning, Afternoon and Evening What I Ate sections. The bottom of each section is Exercise/Accomplishments.This is where the journal goes bad, because there is such inadequate space to write here.I'm sure I will be writing outside of the margins to include weight, date, water, and vitamin. Finally, the second page has Friday through Sunday, and at the bottom of the second page of the journal, there is a What Really Helped This Week section.I think this could be very useful; however, I'd much rather have that extra space for my journal entries.
Overall this is a well-organized, thought-provoking journal.It's just not something to use if you write big, can't see small print, and do many calculations regarding calories or points.
If they could possibly enlarge the food journaling section, this would be an excellent choice.

Outwit Your Weight Journal: Lose Weight and Keep It Off with this Personalized Weight-Loss Diary [Paperback] Review

Outwit Your Weight Journal: Lose Weight and Keep It Off with this Personalized Weight-Loss Diary [Paperback]The book "Outwit Your Weight" by Cathy Nonas, R.D. was so jam packed with easy to follow new tips and ideas for managing weight I picked up her companion book, the "Outwit Your Weight Journal".
Studies show that the best tool for weight loss success is journaling. In one study it was shown that people gain as much as 500% more weight during the holiday season than during non-holiday weeks. But a few folks actually lost weight during the holidays. Who were these lucky people? The folks who kept journals.Another study showed that folks who kept food journals for 15 weeks lost 64% more weight than those who didn't!
Journaling can be key to a successful weight loss journey. Knowing how important this tool is Cathy developed the "Outwit Your Weight Journal". This is very different from your traditional journals. In this book Cathy works with you to customize a journal style that will meet your needs and that you will actually "do" to meet your weight loss goals.
Some journals focus on calorie counting, others on exercise or fat grams. Cathy's book focuses on what YOU need.
The book begins with a simple self assessment of your diet danger zones. Do you nibble to much. Eat when you are lonely or bored. Eat when you read or eat due to medications?
And what is your weight loss personality?Are you a restrained eater with periods of extreme eating styles? Are you an ostrich -in denial about what you eat?
Once you have identified your eating personality, Cathy introduces 6 different types fo journals that may suit your needs. She gives charts to fill in for the different styles.
You can stick to one type of journal or switch as your needs change.
Cathy also gives a lot of other information in the book. She includes "smart strategies" to make the best use of journaling. A full section is devoted to developing goals. Guidelines are given for exercise.
The one drawback to this softcover book is that it doesn't lay flat so writing in it can be awkward. But I think the author intends for it to be used as a stepping stone. That you try out different journal styles (or find one instantly) and use that style in a blank book or copy the pages.
By personalizing a journal to suit your needs and finding the journal style you are comfortable with you are more likely to use journaling which has led so many to weight loss success!

Easy Diet Journal: The Fastest Way to Lose Weight--Works with All Diet Programs (Spiral-bound) Review

Easy Diet Journal: The Fastest Way to Lose Weight--Works with All Diet ProgramsI have used several of Alex Lluch's diet journals and they keep getting better. This is simular to past versions but with some new updates. There are 26 weeks worth of pages. The days are prefilled with the day of the week and sections for calories, fat and carbs to track.

Love:
(1) Calender: a blank 6 month calender towards the begining of the food journal. I like to write on their trips when I am away from home, where I know I won't be as exact in tracking. Or I do have some smiley face stickers to put on the date, if I had a good food/exercise day
(2) Good size. Smaller than other versions. 4 inches wide and 7 inches long. Small enough to carry in a purse.

Could use improvement:
(1) Leave blank what you what to track. If I had to choose 3 items to track, I would track calories, protien and fiber (over fat and carbs)
(2) Would like a place for a monthly wrap up on how measurments/clothing size has changed.

The Calorie King Food & Exercise Journal [Paperback] Review

The Calorie King Food & Exercise Journal [Paperback]I saw the book on the calorieking.com website and figured I'd give it a chance.I'd used spreadsheets in the past to keep track of calorie intakes but you don't often eat your meals at a computer so it was hard to remember to input everything I ate.This book is small so it goes everywhere with me, its easy to use and comes with instructions, helpful dieting tips, weekly overviews and a graph at the end to track your progress. I've been using it for just over 2 weeks now and have lost about 6lbs!Each day has its own page to track your calories eaten, calories burned during exercise, fat intake, glasses of water drank, and steps.There is also an optional carb/protein column if you are on a specific type of diet.I would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to loose weight.It keeps you accountable for what you put in your mouth and helps you manage how much you eat versus how much you work out.

OH and one last thing, the last 4 pages or so gives you the calories and fat found in many common foods, so if you don't have the nutrition information available for you you can look it up in your book.The nutrition information section also features a page for fast food including mc donalds, wendys, subway and pizza hut among others.

Weight Loss Confidential Journal: Week-by-Week Success Strategies for Teens from Teens [Hardcover] Review

Weight Loss Confidential Journal: Week-by-Week Success Strategies for Teens from Teens [Hardcover]What I find so amazing about this companion guide to Weight Loss Confidential is that it is truly a complete and self-contained program that provides teens the essential tools to manage their weight - once and for all!

Fletcher drives home the point that for teens to manage their weight successfully, they must adopt a plan that is individualized and right for them - no more 'cookie-cutter' programs! But she also reinforces that regardless of the approach, the bones of any successful program still involves a life-long commitment to healthy food choices coupled with a do-able physical activity program that teens can live with.

The real jewel in Weight Loss Confidential Journal is not only do teens benefit from the wisdom of an expert nutritionist who has "been there" with her own son's weight battles, but they also benefit from the in-the-trenches wisdom of their peers. Cap it all off with some awesome, simple and teen-focused recipes and meal plans, Weight Loss Confidential Journal provides a recipe for success that teens and their parents cane really sink their teeth into! Bravo, Anne Fletcher...Bravo!

Product Description:
Weight Loss Confidential Journal is two things in one. It's a roomy journal where you can write down what you eat, how much you exercise, and how you feel as you start to make changes in your life. It's also a personal trainer, filled with advice from other teens who lost weight - as much as 50 to 100 pounds. You'll get hundreds of tips, like how to start exercising when you don't want to and how to stop yourself from overeating. The journal gives you tons of ideas for good-for-you munchies and super-quick meals that teens like to make, from chili and pita pizza to instant "cheesecake." Plus a week's worth of easy, low-cal breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks to get you started on the road to your best weight.

Diet & Fitness Journal: Your Personal Guide to Optimum Health (Diary, Exercise) (Little Black Journals) [Spiral-bound] Review

Diet & Fitness Journal: Your Personal Guide to Optimum Health [Spiral-bound]First things first, the diet and fitness journal orange and blue front is only a packaging label.It comes completely off and then you have a really nice, fake leather diet journal.All of the other diet journals I found were really obvious about being a...DIET JOURNAL!I bring this thing everywhere and don't want everyone to know it's my diet journal.It look's kinda classy without writing all over it.

The inside has spiral ribbing to make it easy to turn the pages.Along with the diet journal pages to enter all the info is a diet and fitness guide.If you are a pro, you won't learn anything, but I learned a few things.The best part is at the back there is a nutritional facts for popular foods.This really helps you watch your nutritional intake.

The journal gives you a full page for your food log with breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and snack with a place for times eaten, portion, calories, fat, sodium, carbs, fiber, protein, and other.I just use it for portion and calories, time, and what I eat.It also has places to mark water and fruits and veggies.

On the opposite side of this is a fitness log, calorie totals, vitamin/supplements, goals met, mood, energy level, and notes. The front and back have a place for before and after pictures.On the next to last page is a personal progress chart.

This is an AWESOME book and I really hope they keep selling them, because I will buy one every time I run out of entries.

You WILL lose more weight if you journal and you are more likely to keep at it.I'm amazed that I ate about 2-3 times more than I was supposed to everyday before I started my journal.
