Are you starting a weight loss plan? Start a spreadsheet to go along with it.

If you're overweight and thinking about starting a weight loss program, starting a spreadsheet could be one tool to really help you. As documented by Jeremy Zawodney on his blog, keeping a spreadsheet helps you keep track of your progress. This can help you stay motivated by letting you see your progress every day.

Jeremy's spreadsheet was pretty simple and straightforward, with only the date, weight, average, change and total loss; the average, change and total loss are set up to fill themselves in using spreadsheet magic. As he says in his blog, you can set it up with whatever information you find necessary.

Along with keeping a food diary, starting a spreadsheet may be a extra tool in your weight loss arsenal. It helped Jeremy lose fifty pounds in one year. What do you think it could do for you?
