Has anybody continued to track every single thing they eat even after reaching their goal weight?
I’ve seen amazing progress by tracking, 8.2 pounds down in a month, but I wonder how sustainable it’d be to do this forever. Has anyone had success tracking for years?

A quick note of encouragement for maintainers
I haven't posted in years, but wanted to drop in and give some encouragement to those in maintenance, especially those who've newly arrived. A lot of the focus on the boards goes - understandably - to losing weight, and the lifelong task of maintenance can get some short-shrift. Some of this, though, may be because people…

Why my bingeing happens: this might help others
I’m really writing this for myself. I notice that I gain significantly when I go shopping because I buy things and take little “bites” of everything. If there’s one thing I’ve learned while on this weight loss journey, it’s that the bites are what cause the gain. Either choose to have a serving size of something and track…

Length of maintenance period
For how long should we do the maintenance period? In my previous diets i did maintenance periods with the same length of weight loss period and keep up with exercises. But i always end up gaining the lost weight again. So what's the thing with dieting? Are we supposed to diet/maintain forever? I feel really discouraged.

Travel “Win”
Five years in maintenance this month, excluding the period I dropped too, too low. Five years in a size 4, small or XS. Five years without having to gnaw on “its mail order, so will it fit”, because it generally does. We just got back from a couple of weeks in Romania, including a week long tour with a friend where we…

Not counting, watching (sort of Intuitive Eating, but old-style, with gentle nutrition)
I've cycled around the same 10 lbs or so for over 40 years after dropping 25ish pounds. The last 10 years or so I've kept my weight lower and tighter, healthier eating, especially as I've started playing tennis again and my calorie burn skyrocketed depending on the weather. On trips (traveling/camping, 2-3 weeks 2-3x a…

Hi everybody !
I've been doing a different variations of intermittent fasting to see which one would help me the most to maintain my weight. Right now I'm doing the 3 days fasting and see if by eating just once a day will help to maintain my weight. It is a work in progress until I find the right combination for me.
