What things do you refuse to log?

Gum, water, tea, small amounts of oil used in cooking, one of anything low calorie (ie. one baby carrot, one grape, etc), spices and everyday activities like housework, grocery shopping and food prep. I use MFP to help me live more healthily, not to help me get obsessed with every calorie I might/might not be consuming or burning.

zero calorie items, like diet soda (I have one per day) and coffee (but I log the creamer); i also don't log gum

Water. Just because I know I'm getting enough in.

I log everything -- except for coffee...I log my first 4 cups...after that it's like air to me. I even log cough drops on the days I have needed them.

Water (I know I am getting enough), medicine, vitamins (except my calcium chews since I like to make sure I'm hitting my calcium macro).

If i know what the calorie count of my dinner is, and know it fits into my daily amount.... I won't log it. That's why sometimes I'm under my amount by 300 or more... It's not that I refuse to log it, sometimes it is just refreshing to eat without logging.

i don't log most vegetables or berries, coffee, tea. but sometimes i am in the mood for logging and i log every item.

Gum, herbs and spices... That's it

Whenever possible, I weigh and log everything I eat and everything that I use in recipes. Everything. Then I can get a decent calorie and nutrition count. Anything that has salt in it, I log because I am salt-sensitive, and salt will affect how much water I retain. Retained water=extra pounds. Anything that I can't weigh or measure will be subjected to the best guestimate possible, or just not consumed. MFP has such an incredible database. It is difficult not to find counts to track with.

Zero calorie items, especially sodas, often have a lot of sodium. You can easily retain water weight due to all that excess sodium. I have hyperparathyroidism, which plays havoc with calcium levels in my body, and I was told by my doctors not to drink any more sodas that contain phosphorus. Most do. Phosphorus will leach calcium from your bones. I switched to water and flavored seltzers without artificial sweeteners. Total win.

We visited family members during the Labor Day weekend, and I when I came back, I had gained two pounds. I had no scale to weigh, there was too much tempting food, and I learned a big lesson. When we went back to visit them during the Christmas holidays, I brought my kitchen scale. There was still too much tempting food, but I tracked my food, and didn't gain a single pound. I was on a plateau at that time, and tracking has me from gaining until my metabolism stopped shifting.

That plateau was the hardest thing that I ever went through. Don't get discouraged. I just started losing again, and I feel hopeful. A long time ago, someone told me that if I keep doing what I'm doing, I'll keep getting what I'm getting. I got where I was because I don't eat like normal people. Therefore, I need to do what normal people don't have to do, and realize what a reward that is.

True confession: I do not log things that I sample at Trader Joe's and Costco, and I take only one sample and chalk it up to discretionary calories.

Refuse? That's a bit of a strong word. No-one is forcing me to log anything... I CHOOSE to log everything (within as much accuracy as is reasonable)...

Maybe, when I attain my holy grail weight... then I may choose NOT to log, and trust that I am capable of guessing what will be my maintainable allowance.

But I don't feel that I need to rebel against a free app, and an act of free will!
