    I have fallen off the wagon lately in using MFP,, and it's not been a good thing. I feel that Moderation in everything is important, but if I don't keep strong with tracking, I will gain and that's not good for me. MFP and the friends I have made here are very important to me. MFP is easier to use than anything else I have tried before and I am here to stay!

    i don't think I'll ever stop. I dont' count calories so much as I will always be managing my fitness and weight, and MFP is a great way to that . I'd feel sad not seeing how everyone else is doing and all the hard work everyone else puts in inspires me.
    I reckon when you get too lazy to manage your diet with a food diary of some sort, thats when you're other lazy habits wil slip in and you'll gain.

    I used to think that I would get to a place where tracking wasn't necessary. I have found that when I am lax about it the weight creeps back up. I don't log every single day now but most days I do. it really keeps things in focus.

    i quit counting calories several months ago after i hit my goal weight. i've since added 5-10 pounds even though i'm working out (weights and cardio) 5-6 times a week. idk how much of it is muscle and how much of it is the fluffy stuff. i did get tired of tracking every bite, but since i stopped tracking my diet has suffered immensely. i still log in and share encouragement and success, but the food thing has been pushed to the side

    I may get exasperated by it, but it's like having an illness for which I would always have to take medication. Just part of what I personally have to do to live well.

    This is how I feel about it. If I have to log everything for every day for the rest of my life, so be it. It keeps me accountable and gives me a solid goal to achieve every day. It doesn't take that much time to do it and like the medication I have to take every day, it is a medical necessity.
