Weight-Loss Strategy #7. Record your progress with your healthy eating and exercise.

Start a food diary and exercise log to keep track of  all your daily  accomplishments. Keeping such detailed diaries may seem cumbersome, but they can help you spot wasted calories and whittle them out. They will also aid you in staying motivated. Reviewing the entries can reveal any problem areas in your exercise or healthy eating regimen.  In addition, the information can help facilitate treatment by your nutritionist or doctor, so you are all on the same page as to how much weight you wish to lose, and keep off once you have reached your desired target weight.
