    I just log fluids. My diet (Slimdiet) consists of high protein very low carbs. I grab a bag and mix with water 5x per day and eat unlimited veg (certain types) I cannot complain about the weight loss as I have gone from 94.8kg to 88.9kb in 2 weeks. Goal is 10kg.

    My question here is what's going to happen when the 10kg is off? I know when I've done these diets in the past that's the sticking point. I just go back to normal eating. Maybe even a bit more without thinking about it as I'm so excited about real food.

    Boring and frustrating as calorie counting is it's now long term in that you don't have to spend your life buying specific products or whatever.

    I do my best like most of us. My one good strategy is sticking with the one thing I can control every day. I make breakfast. I keep it at 300 cals regardless (i.e. weetbix, 100mls milk and a banana OR egg and lean bacon on a mcmuffin). If I don't log, I still did one good thing every day.

    There's this great site someone else recommended (The national weight control registry) and these are some of their findings about the people who kept weight off:

    'There is variety in how NWCR members keep the weight off. Most report continuing to maintain a low calorie, low fat diet and doing high levels of activity.'

    And

    78% eat breakfast every day.
    75% weigh themselves at least once a week.
    62% watch less than 10 hours of TV per week.
    90% exercise, on average, about 1 hour per day.

    I also find this website a great reinforcer, because we are being told by health media that everyone regains the weight. We see it in Woman's Day, New Weekly and so on. This is a reminder that real people do address their health and stick to their goals. May not happen first time, but it CAN happen.
