MaintenanceMinder Daily Weigh-In Journal
YOU TOOK IT OFF, NOW KEEP IT OFF! Congratulations!! You followed your fitness plan and reached your goals. You are feeling on top of the world–and rightly so! Perhaps you lost five, twenty, or even a hundred pounds or m. . . More >>
I bought this journal to use when I reach my final goal. Thus far I’ve only looked through it and am still months off from using it. The information it covers appears good and that it will keep me on track when I do reach my goal weight. Continued journaling has been shown to keep dieters from gaining the weight back. I’m banking on that.

This one year diary is great if you’ve lost weight and want to maintain it. It’s a great way to be focused on what you eat and how you exercise in an easy, fast and effective manner! I personally loved its spiral binding for easy writing and pen-clipping. The tidbits included such as the food facts, websites and the pocket page fit so well with the purpose. I also loved the daily format because it was so simple and to the point yet it had everything you would need to jot down to track your progress in keeping that weight off for good.

By now, most people are realizing the tremendous benefits of journaling in their weight loss and weight maintenance efforts. When I lost 180 pounds in 2004, I kept track of my food and exercise plan religiously because it was THAT important. And even to this day, I STILL journal my menus and fitness routine to help keep me accountable in my continuing journey to stay healthy for life. That’s why I love both the DietMinder and MaintenanceMinder journals.
If you are just beginning your healthy lifestyle change, then you need to get the DietMinder first. In this specific journal, you will have the ability to set goals, chart your health markers, include your before and soon-to-be after pictures, and keep a comprehensive list of your food, supplements, and exercise each day. In the back of the journal, you’ll see information on some of the most popular foods listed in alphabetical order, including blank spaces for you to enter information on YOUR favorites. You can even chart the differences in inches lost on various parts of your body on a weekly basis.
Once you reach your weight loss goal, it is vital that you continue to do your due diligence to reward all of the hard work you have invested in your body. That’s where the MaintenanceMinder comes into play. This journal is “for those who’ve made it” and “want to remain that way. ” I especially liked the fact that there was a focus on NOT obsessing over your weight in a bad way, but rather remaining steadfast in keeping your goals for life. This is accomplished by daily weigh-ins.
The MaintenanceMinder journal allows you to have daily weigh-ins first thing in the morning, outline your plan for staying on track for the day, an assessment guide about how your day went nutritionally and physically, and a quick yes or no box for you to check whether you followed plan or not. At the end of each week, there is a review that asks you to reflect on your “biggest challenge,” “biggest triumph,” and any reminders for the next week. There’s also a “notes” section for you to keep a diary of sorts about how your week is going. This journal helps to keep you mindful of why you eat and exercise the way that you do so you don’t slip back into old unhealthy habits.
Whether you are just beginning on a diet plan or if you’ve already accomplished your weight loss goals, you owe it to yourself to get the DietMinder or the MaintenanceMinder journals. They will indeed keep you accountable in your healthy lifestyle change so that you’ll create new habits to keep you that way for the rest of your life. Use these invaluable tools to bring about the big changes you’ve always wanted.

Like everyone else I have kept food and exercise journals, written down what I eat in a day but always end up stopping. I love how the Maintenance Minder is set up, this great book with a spiral binding so you can lay it flat and write in it, is set up so you can see an entire week in front of you. I love this idea, the visual of seeing your weights for the week, your plan for each day and how well you are doing can be motivating. Tomorrow morning I am picking up a scale and starting my Maintenance Minder Journal. I think the only way someone would fail with this journal is if they didn’t fill it in each day! Otherwise, you will find this a success tool to a healthier life.
