When do you stop using My Fitness Pal?

Do you ever plan on not using My Fitness Pal? I've used it for over a year now and I feel like I still don't know a good portion size when I see it. It seems like I may have to use it forever! Do you think you'll ever learn to look at a plate and know how to count the nutrition facts without this site, or are we here for good?

    I have been counting calorie on and off for a few years. I do think I've learned to eyeball portions and calories on foods I eat all the time. I'm not sure if I will ever completely stop. When I do take a break I always find myself coming back to it so only time will tell.

    I will use it as long as it's here. It's a little extra work having to count calories and all, but it's definitely worth it!

    I'm an addict to mfp so probably never. Helps keep me on track & focused, accountable to someone who cares, and is a great place to get great fitness info!

    I can work out all the calories etc in my head but I love logging it all, was wondering this the other day, I am so addicted I can't imagine not doing it, but there must come a point when I should learn to relax a little? Having said that before I found MFP I was always on a diet and working out calories in v calories out, so I suppose it's a way of life for me now. Does that mean I'll still be loggin when I'm old or do you reach a point when you can just chill and not care so much?? It must get annoying for my other half me rushing off to the computer after every meal lol!

    I have used Livestrong/MyPlate a few years ago before switching to MFP. I have used MFP for over a year and a half now, and sometimes I like the simplicity of just logging and going. I don't have much time to dedicate to this site as I used to, but I love the friends I've made here and couldn't see myself leaving. I haven't made much progress as far as my weight is concerned, but I'm ok with that. This site helps keep me in check and I don't think I'll be leaving it even after meeting my goals.

    I don't plan on ever stopping. I have lost weight enough times to know that I am going to need to keep myself in check. The reason I have always gained the weight back is because I stopped thinking and caring about what I was eating. This is a lifestyle change for me and I plan to log my food forever because I need to. Plus, I like it here and have a really awesome support group of friends. =)

    I've been to my goal for a long time and have been here over a year. I don't see me quitting. I like to continue logging to make sure I don't go crazy and eat too much. I've also made so many good friends I would miss them. MFP is just a big part of my life now.About the first thing I do in the morning is log on and see who's on....

    I used MFP religiously for 6 months, lost 16 kilos, stopped logging but kept the app on my phone as a reminder to myself, just the little icon was enough. And I kept the weight off. (This was Jan-Sept last year). I then deactivated my account.

    But now this year I've decided to push for another few kilos so I reregistered and am on here every day again.
