Invest in a shock collar. Amazon has several to chose from:

You're welcome! :flowerforyou:
This made me spit my coffee at the screen ROFL!!
I use an app called PACT. It's linked into MFP and so it knows what you are doing. I have to log at least 1200 cals a day for it to count as a logged day and if I fail to do it I get fined $5. It's quite a motivator for me!! If I do successfully log I get about 20c a day (WOW!) You can choose how many days you want to complete so it does give you a bit of leeway.
I must admit, I'm quite motivated to log everyday as I'm enjoying the side effect of losing weight which I also find quite motivational, I just though it was quite good to be able to earn a bit of extra cash for doing something I'm already doing.
Maybe I'll have enough by the end of the year to buy a small book! lol0 -

It doesn't get much easier than keeping a food log on an app that does all the work for you.
You just have to be bothered to do it.0 -
my smartphone is almost 6 years old and really slow. MFP takes ages to load and I literally have to wait like 90 seconds after pressing any button, because of memory lag. Its dreadful. But I log my calories.
For things that I eat daily or often and know 100% calorie amount,
i use the ADD CALORIES feature instead of finding the food item and selecting it or entering it. This makes it less obnoxious.
I think MFP is intellectually stimulating.. I look up the graphs and lists and whatever else is in it just for fun. It has replaced words with friends and facebook for my nerotic phone checking disorders. I love MFP.0
