Anyone stopped logging food !?

Out of interest, do people plan to log their food forever? What happens when the site no longer exists?

Well, I'm age 50 now and I've been "logging" in some form or another since I was age 16, so YES, I'll still be logging in the old folks home!

I stopped logging. I was becoming obsessed and addictive and it wasn't healthy. I continued to lose and got to my goal weight, but likely much more slowly than if I had kept logging, but I was ok with that. I know that if I needed to stop, I can still maintain.

I came back and started logging again because we have a trip in three weeks, and I wouldn't mind dropping a few more pounds for that trip (will likely maintain at my current weight though because it's been relatively easy to maintain).

Hmm sounds like some different views here then! I always had of view of eventually eating like a normal person, i.e not caring really just eating when you're hungry. I mean normal people who aren't overweight won't electronically log everything that goes in their mouth for the rest of their life :S

My plan when I joined was to come here to assist with losing weight and to aid in educating myself about the nutritional content of what I eat so that I can eventually live like 'regular' people and just be conscious of my food without obsessing or having to log everything. I want to live healthily without this place being my only method of enabling that.

Think we have a similar goal shelby !

I mean in England UK here the majority of people wouldn't think about calories unless they are overweight and dieting. Thin people drink non diet coke, go for pizzas etc.but don't overeat.

An example of what I do at the moment Is I know I can have around 2000 calories a day...

So I'll budget say 500 breakfast, 750 lunch, 750 for evening meal. I roughly know the size of these meals and what I can have calorie wise so I should never be far off track. Obviously I can shift some calories around for snacks etc. Then I do cardio/weights a few times a week
