To Ponder

My good intentions of writing something daily here flew out the window as soon as I went back to work.  I still can't believe how fast the evening hours fly!  Well, even though my plan to write daily failed, my journey of losing weight has not.  In fact, I think it is much easier to stay true when I am back in a routine and cannot focus on if I am hungry or bored.

These are my questions at this point. 

1. How important is it to have support?  (The human, emotional kind of support--not the lycra, spandex type --LOL)   
2. How often should one weigh--daily? weekly? 
3. Should a food journal be kept and calories counted?
