    It's smart to watch what you eat. If you stop logging your food and exercise the moment you hit your goal, chances are you'll eat too much and lose track and next think you know you've gained it all back.

    The smart thing to do is keep logging your diaries for at least a few months and slowly add more food and maintain your goal weight. Once you've worked on mainting for a while, then slowly stop logging if you want to. Don't just drop it when you hit your goal.

    I think keeping a food journal is just a part of a healthy lifestyle, whether you are at your goal weight or not. It will help with maintaining your weight. So whether or not you decide to continue using MFP, you should definately keep a daily log of the foods you eat to keep yourself on track.



    Yes I agree!

    I have been at goal or near goal for about seven years.

    I switched from WW points when they changed to points plus to MFP.

    I will forever track. I have stopped tracking a few times what I eat and guess what, I end up gaining. At first, I do well maintaining without journaling but then I get relaxed and my portions get bigger and choices not so good.

    So for me, I must journal.

    After reached goal weight and started getting those sexy, feminine non-visible muscles. (which will take a small while, I think). By then I should have fair knowledge of how many kcal I get through what foods, and know just about how much food is enough. Then again, I'm a creature of habit and eat the same thing every weekday (same breakfast, somewhat same lunch, different dinners every day of the week, but the same every week).

    never thought about it. but I really enjoy logging and since it tends to also fall into my OCD tendencies i'll still be doing it. lol :)

    Food (aka calories) is the same thing. It’s a resource and I’ll always have to keep track of the quality and quantity. I don’t think about this as just losing weight. It’s about quality control.
