@kellygirl5538 I prefer to be optimistic and say no I don't think I will - I know not everyone can do it but I'm actually doing great, I weighed in after hols and am still 1lb within goal range limit, I gained 3lbs and most of that will be sodium as its early days. I have a 5lb +/- goal range so I feel I did not bad at all considering I had two weeks of unlimited food, it shows I can practice mindful eating well

Over a long period of time you will. Get back with me in a year without logging.

I can totally see Ruth "not" getting back to you for many years. Tracking calories is not necessary for losing or maintaining weight.

4th August - 5 weeks in without logging my food
... and I am LOVING it! I am keeping right in the middle of my goal range even with being on the cruise for a few weeks....I feel so chuffed with myself! I wont ever let myself get complacent and I'll stick to frequent weigh ins but this is working for me nicely and its been liberating
I fully expect in the next month to be lowest of my goal range or slightly under ....watch this space

That's great!!

I'm nearly 3 weeks in with no logging. I still note down what I eat, mainly to make sure I get certain foods, but my weight has actually been stable. I'm still weighing myself every day, but have switched to using Happy Scale again so I can track the trend more easily.

Still got those last 10 lbs to go but I'm more confident I can do it than I was when I was logging ironically.

Good for you! There is no reason to log once you have changed your habits and learned what eating plan works for you. It's just about paying attention, and not slipping back into old patterns. But if you keep weighing yourself regularly, that will really help you stay mindful.
