    You know, I used to be super impressed with the log-in streaks until I found it it just means you have to go to the website or app, not log-in your food. Why does accessing the site or app mean anything?

    715 today. Of those 715, I have logged at least 90% of them. There have been a few days here and there (traveling, sick, race, just didn't feel like it) that I didn't log, but for the most part I have logged everything everyday.

    sodakat, I think it's because it's so easy NOT to. I am not a long streak yet. I had over 30 days, but didn't visit the site one day. I thought I could just go back and put my food in for the day, but, alas, it didn't count. The streak means a lot to me because if I am here, I am going to log my food. I agree that it would be nice if you had to contribute in some way, but I think you ought to be able to go back a day or two if you missed logging your food/exercise.

    I joined MFP in June of 2011, weighing more than 300 pounds. I committed that day to a healthier life.

    A healthy life, to me, does not mean logging my food every day. Instead, it means having goals, eating well most of the time, and indulging on occasion.

    I have logged in every single day since I joined. I most definitely haven't logged my food every single day, though. That is not part of my plan, though I respect that it's part of others' plans. For me, logging my food most of the time is how I keep sane, committed, and healthy. I lost 130 pounds in 15 months, and I continue to log in every single day as part of my maintenance plan (two years and counting).

    Why? Because starting my morning with a quick log-in to MFP reminds me of how far I've come, the goals I'm still working toward, and the commitment I made to change my life on June 16, 2011. Even when I absolutely know I'm not logging my food, an MFP log-in keeps me focused. My log-in streak is a reminder of how long I've been living this happier, healthier life - 1217 days!

    I guess that I think MyFitnessPal is about a lot more than logging calories. That's why accessing the site or app means something.

    376 as of today! I don't log my food when I'm on vacation but the mere act of remembering to log on to MFP every day means I'm thinking about what I'm eating.

    Even if I did log vacation days, nothing in Vegas would be accurate because my brain stops working after so many shots!

    If you go to the techinical help section at the top of the site, you can have them reset your streak to your actual days. I was away in the Mtns over the weekend with NO cell or internet. I was bummed that I lost those 60 days. Needless to say, I logged my food regardless when I returned. I just found you can reset today and was pretty excited.

    Maybe people with super long streaks arent doing this to impress.. maybe that is the way they change their lives.. Maybe just reading a thread or seeing a friend be under cals, is enough to keep them going, gives them the edge to stick with a healthy lifestyle just one more day.

    966 here... and yes, EVERY day I log my food and exercise... after all that time it has turned into habit (almost an OCD!). I "think" I might not be able to maintain my weight loss without tracking, and this is how I stay on track! :-)

    I'm at 212, and I've logged every day, minus a few (like being at a wedding). Always post at least one thing every day I log in, though!

    913 days today for me, it was not a goal - I just really, really feel I benefit from logging my food and exercise each day and I don't get sick much so I keep coming back. Not everyone works that way and that's fine. I have friends who are making great progress but don't have daily log ins. As long as it works for you, do what works.

    One day here. I haven't missed tracking my food in over 60 days, but with my bed time being after midnight, I sometimes miss a day by minutes. For example, I pre-logged some food last night, before midnight, worked late today, and didn't add the rest until after midnight. So technically I missed a day, but really, I didn't. So I won't pay attention to that any more, it's meaningless in my situation.
