      not yet but getting there.

      I have not taken a day off from logging....even when I wasn't here I wrote the items down and logged it when I got home...

      Even over the holidays I logged...wasn't pretty but I logged it...

      When I go out...I log...definately not pretty but I need to know what is going on...

      Yup. I joined just before Christmas 2012. I'm hoping I won't have to count forever but I'm still working towards goals at the moment and need to make sure I'm eating enough now.

      Thank you guys for responding.

      Couple of questions for those of you who have had great success;

      How much do you drink?
      Do you just count calories, or do you also eat healthy/natural as well?

      Thanks you :)

      Drink? Liqour? enough:laugh: ...water...usually enough...8 cups a day usually, diet coke for sure, milk yup, juice diet Cran/pom and anything else I feel like.

      I count calories but watch macros too...I eat food..I don't care where is comes from or if it's boxed, bagged, raw, cooked canned...high sugar, low sodium, GMO free, Free range...I just don't care..

      My diary is open....today I have had fruit loops x2, 1 cup of skim milk, 2 pieces of high protien bread, 1tbsp of butter coffee with cream and sugar...

      Tonight I am going to have toaster strudle...with icing after eat chicken fingers from DQ maybe..

      Been counting for roughly 2 years. Mind you sometimes I don't log although it's pretty rare.

      I eat whatever fits my macros and calories. That's my definition of healthy.

      As for how much I drink, you mean water or alcohol?

      I drink so much water I don't count. About a 500ml an hour. As for alcohol, a glass of wine a day
