The National Weight Control Registry, a long-term weight-loss study, has found that journaling is one of the most powerful tools used by people who have lost weight ......... and kept it off long term. Tap into this helpful resource and start your own journal by visiting the journal section here at The South Beach Diet Bulletin Board.

Use the journal to write down your thoughts and feelings, sort through the challenges you've faced, and record your successes. Keeping track of your daily progress can help you identify possible weak spots, as well as figure out a plan to overcome them. You can also read the journals of other members to understand their challenges, rewards, and experiences. Finally, use the journal as a food diary by listing everything you eat in a day. Again, you'll learn a lot about your eating habits, and having a record of your food choices will be helpful if your weight loss stalls and you want to ask someone for advice.

So, what are you waiting for? Go on and start your very own journal.
