Hello New Me: A Daily Food and Exercise Journal to Help You Become the Best Version of Yourself, (90 Days Meal and Activity Tracker)

Better to look for other options

It is too big for a tracker

An excellent journal which has really helped me. I have mobility issues and use a wheelchair all the time so losing weight has been hard for me and the temptation to eat too many sugary foods for a quick energy and/or emotional fix is my downfall. However this journal (and the help of Paul McKennas hypnotic gastric band book and DVD) has helped me lose 1st 4lbs despite not being able to exercise. Even with following the hypnotic gastric band programme I find that if I don’t write in the journal then I am not accountable and I fall off the wagon and overeat and eat more sweet things than I should!The first few pages of the journal are about goals and your starting point with weight and body measurements, the last page records your new measurements and results. The 90 pages in between record the 90 days of the journal.It begins with space to record what you have for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. There is lots of space for all of these. Next you can record sleep time and smiley/ indifferent/ sad faces help to record how you feel about your food and exercise that day, I learn visually so this is a really good way for me to recognise how the day has gone to help me make make an improvement the next day even if I’m having a bad day and I just do a bit more and get dressed rather than have another PJ day! I also love the water glasses as a visual reminder to drink more but it would be better if the journal specified how much water each glass represents.Next there is an exercise/ activity section to see what I do throughout the day and record it so I can identify where I’ve maybe overdone things if I’m struggling to do more than sit/lie there the next day.Under this is a section to note cravings and my response to them, this is a really positive way to look forward which combined with the last section of “something to make tomorrow better” which makes me get into a positive frame of mind with an action plan that I wake upto the next day!Overall it is an excellent journal and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to be healthier or lose weight.

I like this a lot. It doesn't over analyse and complicate with fat and calories and nutrition and exericsing in different ways which soooo many things do, which just puts people off. It's simple and that's what I needed as a single parent to two extremely hyperactive boys aged 6 and 2! I like the font, I like the way it's laid out, I like the "mood tracker" that's interesting. The only thing I ummed and arred over is that there is no weekly weight/body measurements progress tracker. I can understand why though- sometimes you won't lose., sometimes you can bloat, sometimes you can even gain (time of the month for example) or muscle gain, water retention, or just reason unknown! and it can all get too confusing and frustrating and demanding. But I still think a little bit of weight/body mass tracker is needed to show that the plan is working. 3 whole months inbetween seeing some progress is too long - but still good to see how much was lost in between! Very easy to just add a little "Weight:__" and "Measurements___" to the page when you feel like it/have time though!

Great book for tracking meals, snacks and drinks as well as your mood and exercise. Loads of space on each page to write notes that are important to you. It reminds you to note down cravings and your response to them and asks what would you like to do better tomorrow. Motivational without being over the top! It is A4 size, so be aware it won't fit in a small handbag!

Don’t bother. This is a flimsy item that has very basic bits to fill in on what you’ve eaten, calories etc. It’s something you could get off the internet as a template and free phone apps with scan options are a million times more useful.Page after page of basic things to fill out that gets incredibly boring. Very disappointed in this. I can’t believe I paid money for it. It’s pitched as something so much more.Trust me, don’t bother unless super basic is what you want. Much better tools out there for free.

I love this book, it’s helped me so much with my weight loss!I read some negative reviews prior to purchase talking about the fact that you can get apps which do the same for free and it’s overly basic for the price.For me, I prefer writing down what I’ve eaten to electronically logging it on a phone app, it somehow makes me feel more accountable to physically write it down. It is simple but does everything that I want it to do. There are progress reviews at 30, 60 and 90 days to review your weight loss and inches lost. There are motivational quotes at the top of each page which may be quite cheesy but I actually really like for some positive thoughts and encouragement.This book has become my new best friend, I wish I’d got it ages ago. I used to struggle with overeating/ stress eating and this book has helped me regain control. Would recommend to anybody!
