hi debbie, The online tracker is too time consuming for me, I have a pretty (that's important to me) journal and I not only write what I eat each meal, but at the bottom of each page I do a little "gratitude entry" or a "bitch entry" whatever seems appropriate at the time...no offense intended, after all this is a 'doggy group'. I also am, as per the article I read, investing in some gold stars to put on the days I feel deserving. This works better for me as it's quick and something I can pick up and add to/edit whenever I need too. Can also go with me to help keep me on track when I'm not home. Just knowing it's there with me helps drive right on by the fast food traps. I have a Dr. apt in March and the last time I saw him I was 206, that was last Sept.......I actually look forward to this one.
