    No, no, no. I just want you to know how – I just want you to know how sorry we are that-that things got so f*cked up with us and-and Mr. Wallace. I-I-It...we-we got into this thing with the best intentions. Really. I never...

    *gunshot*

    Oh, I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue. You were saying something about "best intentions"? [silence] What's the matter? Oh, y-you were finished? Oh, well, allow me to retort. What does Marcellus Wallace look like?

    I would love to do that to OP.

    Not logging is not always the same as not keeping track of what I'm eating. When I go out of the country I don't want to pay for "out of the country" cellphone service and don't always have a reliable wifi connection. So I don't log electronically. I have kept track of what I was eating though. If someone wants to drop me as a friend when I'm away, just because I'm not logging, fine.

    I have been losing weight for 3 years, been on MFP Since January... I miss a day here or there, but I have never been as motivated as I am now that I have this site to keep me coming back

    I can't lie, I quit logging for a while...about 4 months, and yep put alot of my initial loss back on.

    That seems to be what happens when I quit logging. But when I'm logging I do well. Go Figure!

    I've been here for a long time off and on. I think I've had the best intentions but just didn't have the right information behind me to do it right the first few times. I've been at it over 125 days this time around and with the help of the IPOARM ideals and my BodyMedia.. this time its for life.

    I just passed my 200 day mark. I'm on every day, I log everything. It's making an enormous difference for me. I've been gaining weight steadily all my life really, but it really got bad in the last 3 years. If I had known about this site back then, I probably would have avoided gaining these last 20 pounds. I thought I knew how to manage things, I ate fairly well and exercised regularly. But this site helps me with more than that. I'm pretty sure I'll stay on here even after I get to a healthier weight. Why wouldn't I?

    Trust me, this can become addicting if you have the right friends to motivate you (and you motivate them).

    About 3 weeks for me -Glad the topic of dumping non-logging friends came up, as I was just wondering how long I should hang on to people who don't log, or worse, yet, never motivate me but I motivate them.

    I've been on MFP for about two years now. I haven't lost much because I slacked off the first year and just trolled on the message boards.

    I was using another logger before MFP for 40 days. I've been on MFP 325 days. Altogether a year.

    Most people probably have only 10 lbs to lose, and aren't ocd enough to keep logging after that.

    Four months, and I log in every day. The only exception was a couple of days when I was out of town all day and got home late.

    With 30% of the population obese, and another 30% various levels of overweight... I can be certain in saying that most are way WAY more than 10 lbs overweight

    150 days so far. I will always need to keep logging, if not here then somewhere else even once I'm on maintenance.

    Joined MFP in Oct 2010, logged in for 410 days, lost 40 lbs. I moved to another country, fell off the wagon, gained back 14 lbs. I started back up 70 days ago and religiously log in, down 7 lbs. So far so good...
  • I have been on my healthier lifestyle journey for 1 year but only on MFP for 140 days. I definitely notice a difference in my accountability when I have to log what I'm eating. :)
