Daily Fit Tip: Keep a journal

When you're trying to lose weight, one of the tips that all the experts seem to have is to keep a journal, detailing not only what you eat but how much and how much activity you are getting too. I tried it briefly and it did work well, although these days I am too busy to call my mother let alone keep track of what I am eating. You can get specially designed ones, but plain old notebooks work well too. Or you could even keep track of your progress online, using an online fitness journal like FitDay.com, which actually calculates how many calories you have consumed and burned each days, as well as the percentage of fat, carbs and protein in your meals.

Do you keep a journal? Does it work for you?
