For Permanent Weight Loss, Keep Records

Keeping records helps you see what works and what doesn't.  Records keep you focused on the most important points in losing weight.  For the best records, keep your system with you.  Sometimes, low tech works best.  Make a weekly schedule and weekly goals for miles walked, number of fruits and vegetables (5 per day works best or 35 per week).
