What I find helps is to enter in what you're going to RIGHT BEFORE you eat it...then you can really see what it is you're consuming and make the decision to change what you eat before you eat it. And if anyone would like, feel free to add me as a friend.

I'm finding tracking on MFP to be easy and that's what I focused on in the beginning--tracking everything and NOT worrying how many calories I'm consuming. I then started looking back at my diaries and figuring out what I needed to eliminate or switch. I've now lost 6 pounds and I'm feeling very positive. Slow and steady will get you there. Just stay in the game if you can!!

Either enter in what you forgot or do an extra workout or two to make up for whatever went wrong. Another thing to keep in mind is that it takes minimum 21 days to make a habit. You can even set reminders on your phone to remind you to log something so that you stay on the ball. My friend uses this and on sundays she has a "cheat day." She still limits what she eats but uses that day to eat what she wants (within reason). She says the cheat days are the only reason she has been able to keep with her weight loss program! Good Luck
