I could tell you the calorie count of hundreds of foods. Maybe that's why I feel like I don't have to log anymore. Maybe that's how you are too.
Well, it takes 21 days to create (or recreate in our case) a new habit. So today I am committing to logging 100% of what I eat for the next 21 days. It seems daunting. I used to log every bite no big deal. But that is why it is so important that I do it. Who's with me?

I'm in....21 days of honest logging!0

You got this! I have logged in for almost 500 days in a row now. I was on vacation for the last 10 days and did not log food and paid for it on the scale. I logged in every day though.
Most days I prelog what I am eating that day. That way I know what is coming and where I may be going over on sodium or fat and can adjust it before it happens.. Daunting some days? YES! Helped keep me on track? YES!
We can do this!0 -
YES! I'm IN!
21 days, I will log everything I eat (and drink, wine included) Like I did when I started this and was being successful!
WE CAN DO THIS!!! Great idea.0 -
I log every day but sometimes I wonder why I bother. 600 calories worth of Hershey kisses? Really? FML, lol.0
-
Count me in too!0

I am in too.. sigh I will start logging my skittles honestly0

500 days is really amazing! I'm using you as inspiration!!0 -

LOL!! Well you look great and based on your ticker, you've hit your goal?! At least you are keeping it real. If I did that I'd just not log it. But no more!!
21 days and more of beastly, relentless logging, here we come.
Day 1---check! I didn't eat enough. Forgot my snack and had a lot going on.0 -
I love this challenge...and I need it. I'm queen of snacking on kid's food and anything else that comes my way. I have ten pounds to lose and this is what I should do to finally get rid of ....be honest!0

I am IN! had a sick household for around a month, now I dont want to hear any of it LOL. I will log in for the 21 days! I have a deadline, and although I have lost nothing in Kgs, my first 3 weeks I lost very good results in CM's. I have stubborn kgs left, if anyone can help with advice on eating or motivation please do ad me, I need the help... With a month of Sick me and child i have not been that good, but i need to focus now!0

I am totally in! Today is 335 days since I started my journey logging on MFP and running. I am determined to "finish up my year" strong! I'm committing to logging everything for the next 30 days until I hit my 1 year mark. I have logged every day, but what happens is that I end up slacking with the logging after lunch. I figure I know what the calories are or I indulge and don't feel like adding it in because I know I've gone over. Running has at least kept me maintaining for a while, but I really want to drop a bit more for my 1 year anniversary!
Thanks for starting this group!0 -
Glad to see you are all in. Many of you thanked me for starting this group. You are so welcome!! I must admit it was a bit self-serving! It will help keep me accountable too. I needed this, so I created it. Thank you for being a part of it.
That being said, I don't have any amazing ideas on how to make this a rockin' group, so if you do have some, please let me know!!0 -
I log obsessively, so I'm definitely in!0

21 days? In a row? (deep breath) ok. I'm in! Honest logging for the next 21 days!! No more hiding the cookie dough balls I "forgot" I ate!0

Should be easy for you, then! The rest of us are quivering at the thought! LOL! Maybe you need a tougher challenge?0 -

My thoughts exactly. Here we go!0 -

Yes, a tougher challenge at this point would be NOT to log! I have OCD tendencies so I can get way too anal and obsessive about things as a way of feeling in control.0 -
Logged every single thing yesterday for the first time in a long while! Felt great! Day 1 down!0

So do I! But that hasn't been working for me. I'll be logging every bite. Even if I go over. Pinky swear! Lol.0 -

MOJO WHERE AREEEEE YOOOUUUUUUUUU???????????0 -

WORD!0 -
I'm in!!! I tend to slack off a little bit on the weekends, but my personal goal for June was to stay within 100 calories of goal on the weekends. So far so good!
21 days? Game on!0 -
I'm in as well. If i'm being honest, i'm already pretty addicted to logging (I try to never miss a day...the last day I missed was because of a family vacation where I couldn't log on), but can always use some extra accountability...especially in the summer when family engagements tend to take over!0

Ok, ya'll it just got serious! I logged a stick of gum! 4 calories. I have never logged gum or crystal light because they were 5 calories or less and I can probably burn it off by taking a deep breath. But I am in it to win it and every calorie counts!0

That's awesome!0 -
I'm in, I'm going to try my best to log honestly. I have logged a lot, then once a binge happens, I don't log it because of the shame and self hate.
This should help me be more accountable!!0
