To many people concerned with accuracy of everything

For me, keeping detailed records and actually graphing my anticipated and actual progress is what keeps me from giving up. When I guessed at serving sizes and when I used the 'average' calculations of the machines/mfp, I didn't lose. Now that I'm tightly controlling my food and using a FitBit to know exactly how much I burn, I am losing. And because I tend to go weeks without anything happening, being able to look at a graph and see that I really AM progressing over the long term, helps me stick to it.

So I need the accuracy. Possibly other people don't. Whatever works for you, works.
