    I will keep logging on here, but I don't know about how often I will or won't be on the forums. I'm on the computer all day at work, so I would most likely end up wandering back in here even when I reach my goal weight. I think it will keep me maintaining my weight better to stay here!

    I think I'll log forever. If not on MFP, on the next best website or app. On the news this morning, one of the doctors reported that only 20% of Americans keep the weight off. She recommended keeping a diet journal to help improve the chances of weight maintenance.

    Those persons that have been on here a while then stop..............Is that what they are doing?........being done because they achieved their goal? I have wondered this too. I do not think I will stop as the site helps keep me accountable for my actions/ choices. There is support here that I do not get elsewhere.
    I also like the threads..............until they are locked or disappear

    I see no reason to give it up - Even on maintenance I use it to control my intake - i.e. both to 'fuel' my running and to prevent over eating.

    As of right now, I don't see myself stopping. I feel like I will need to keep logging to hold myself accountable for what I'm eating to maintain my weight. Logging has become a habit, & I can't believe I just have 20 lbs left & could be at goal in a matter of a few short months. I am afraid that if I stopped logging altogether, I would eat too much & gain weight back, which terrifies me!

    I agree about adding new goals. Once I achieve my weight goal, I will always have to keep other goals ahead of me to keep me motivated & working hard. I will probably have areas I want to tone more, run more races & try to improve my time, etc. I am thinking about becoming a Zumba instructor eventually, because I know that would help keep me on track!

    I will continue using MFP as long as it's available. If it's ever gone, I will find another "logging" program. I will never stop counting!

    Never. It has an option for maintaining. I can't do it without MFP.

    This!! I'm on MFP more than I am Facebook now.....I can't do without it or my support network! I love my MFP friends!

    I enjoy it here, enjoy logging food. It's amazing to see the calories in things. I think I'll be here for a long time lol

    Right now I don't see me ever voluntarily leaving MFP. It's a great tool and to maintain my weight long term it will be very helpful.

    I honestly don't know. Defintely not before I reach my goal. But, I enjoy the forums here and the friends I've made so much I can't see leaving. It's become my new Facebook in a way. I will definitely stay on for awhile once i reach my goal to work on toning and maintenance but I am not sure if I'll continue to count calories forever. It's been such a part of my routine now I might...I think I'd miss it too much.

    A couple of different scenarios could end my MFP relationship.

    - My work finds out and blocks the site (I don't log in at home)

    -I get p*ssed off at something or someone and bail.

    -I p*ss off the powers that be and get booted.

    -I can't deal with all the women that are stalking me and sexually harrassing me.
    The last one is most plausible.

    I love tracking calories so I think I will use it for as long as possible. I also plan on continuing to tone up and possibly build muscle in the future so I will have to watch my macros. :D

    I'll probably stop using it when they start blocking it at work. I'll miss it, but I'm not worried about gaining weight without it.


    Precisely :)

    If my plan was to stop using it, i wouldn't be here in the first place.

    I have reached my goal weight...but I keep coming back to enter my calories...and to help motivate those who havent reached goal. Besides..there is always new and interesting stuff going on in the boards to keep me around.

    I don't plan on leaving. Haven't used the site for logging in quite some time, mostly social now, keeping up with people who went thru the same thign I did, ones that are like me now (lost some, gained some, losing again). The friendships I've formed on MFP are some of the strongest I've ever had.

    ^^This!

    That's cuz you're so irresistable!

    I'll be on MFP until it doesn't serve a purpose anymore.........and I can't see THAT happening anytime soon!
