At least that gave me a guideline. At work, I used to just scribble it on a post-it note and stick it on my diary to take home and track at the end of the day. If you have any kind of notes function on a phone or personal organiser that works too. <br /><br />If I was away for the weekend or on holiday, I carried a proper diary-style notebook and journalist both my food (again recording points and guessing where need be) and also my feelings and whatever else took my fancy. That worked well in Croatia and I still managed to lose whilst I was away. I find the very act of writing stuff down keeps me mindful, even if I'm not totally sure of exact points and I generally lost anyway. <br /><br />It's only recently I've moved on to doing full-scale tracking on my iPhone, and in fact I just downloaded a points calculator at the weekend which is brilliant - if there was one thing I missed doing it online, it was having a calculator to carry with me for when I didn't know points but did have the nutritional info - you can buy a inexpensive one from the online WW shop if you don't have one already. <br /><br />Hope that helps! <br /><br />Suestarfish264https://www.blogger.com/profile/14024515361050828981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160217315493191006.post-23195219004736735942010-07-12T10:35:44.947+01:002010-07-12T10:35:44.947+01:00Can I please ask you a WW question?
