Excellent food/exercise log!, February 25, 2010
This review is from: FLogg DAILY Food and Fitness Journal, classic white (Hardcover)
The Flogg is perfect for anyone trying to track food and exercise. The layout has two full pages for one day. The exercise page has two seperate sections for cardio, each with 3 lines. Perfect if you are doing two a days or just do a few different machines during your cardio sections. There are spots to record level, heart rate, calories burned and duration. There is also a huge section for strength training (10 lines) with spaces to record weight, reps, sets, and muscle group. Below those is a notes section, which I LOVE for recording how I felt that day, and a Training Evaluation section with spaces to record hours slept, appetite, energy level, mood, location, trainer name, and a little spot for them to initial if you want to.
The food section has 6 divided areas, breafast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. This is great for someone like me who eats often through the day and after workouts. Each of the snack sections are kind of small (2 lines) but the main meal sections are very big (5 lines). There are areas to record fat, sat fat, carbs, sugar, and protein. I don't record all those specific macronutrients, but I like that even if I don't want to record a certain one, I still have space to record the one I want w/o squeezing it in somewhere.
In addition to the space for the food/exercise, there are spots to check if your supplement was taken that day (which I usually record specifically in the notes section), weight, chest/waist/hip measurements, and water intake.
Outside the actual journaling, I love the progress pages in the back! My trainer does an assessment every 6-8 weeks and I record all the results in my Flogg. It doesn't match up perfectly, but there is enough room to write notes about the assessments. I also record accomplishments in the Additional Notes pages in the back sometimes. And it's really nice to see the progress over time, especially when you can flip back to it when you are having a bad day. There is a little built in envelope for pictures, notes, or whatever else you'd like to stick in there. I keep my nutrition program back there.
Honesly I can't imagine anything I'd do to improve this product. It has a small sleek sturdy design that fits in my purse, briefcase, and gym bag. And it really does have all the space I need to record everything. I love it!

By far the best diet/weight loss journal, December 23, 2010
This review is from: FLogg DAILY Food and Fitness Journal, classic white (Hardcover)
Most journals lack some vital component. Many track exercise, but the food tracking doesnt let one write breakfast, lunch dinner and calories per meal with total. OR there is a great food section, but a small section for the fitness exercise section. THIS journal has everything: highlights 1) before and after picture section with measurements, 2) section to track your weight and measurments for every 2 weeks (for up to 3 months), 3) *daily tracking for an entire 3 months , 4) daily pages have aerobic sections (more than one!- toning and 2 aerobic/cardio), food section (breakfast, lunch dinner with calorie total). all the necessary components to be succesful this time.

A great journal!, September 8, 2011
This review is from: FLogg DAILY Food and Fitness Journal, classic white (Hardcover)
I purchased this journal after deciding that I needed something better than just a regular notebook to record my food intake and workouts. However, I did not want to spend the $20-30 most companies charge, especially when most journals are only good for 3 or so months. I have to say this journal has been great! It provides general calorie counts for most foods in the back and estimated calorie burn for various activities. I like that it gives spaces to check off water intake, sections for 6 meals, and areas to record your weights workout as well as your cardio workouts. The best part? This journal is good quality and very discrete. It looks like a small, hard cover planner so no one knows what it is! If you want to get serious with your training, or lose some weight, it is a great tool!
