Do you ever stop logging?

Bodybugg
For those that have a body bugg or a product like it, if your bmr is lets say 3000(according to mfp) and your bodybugg says you burn 3500 do you take the 500 and use it as exercise and eat more calories or do you do nothing with it.

Buying New clothes
I have decided to make my 20lb goal a new pair of jeans. I am thinking by then I will be in a lower size anyway since I have been in between sizes for a while.

Logging "tastes" and "nibbles"-how do you calculate it?
Not sure if this is the right forum, but when I cook, I am a taster to make certain the seasonings are good, things are done properly, etc. Obviously these are calories I am consuming but I don't know how to calculate how many they are or the portion size.

Work problems - what a difference now.
Some of you may recall that a few weeks ago, I posted about a colleague who had brought in homemade chocolate cake to share and got mightily offended when I refused, very politely, to have a slice.

Correct amount of calories
I'm 5'9" 200 and myfitness pal calculated I can only eat 1370 calories for a loss of 2lbs/week.
