    Thanks for all the friendly advice lol I guess I'm really going overkill this time around because I'm so tired of being fat and this is the longest I've ever commited, a measly 5 days. But so far I've lost 5 pounds so what I'm doing is working! Thanks:)

    Nah, we're just having fun with you; it's important to be as diligent and accurate as possible - at least within reason. The big question is where to draw that line. I liked the person who suggested you walk once around the house and call it even. :)

    I'm pretty meticulous but that's a little crazy! Like if I'm making broccoli for my kiddos I might pop a tiny piece in my mouth, or I might taste something I'm making. If it's tiny, truly tiny, then you probably burned more calories making it than you ate, so let it go.

    In 5 days it's mostly water weight. My weight was peeling off quickly too and after 18 pounds gone in 2 months I've only lost like 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks. It's a little discouraging, but I realize what part of that loss was, and that continued loss will not be nearly as fast. Spending it logging a finger lick of yogurt (2 or 3 grams at most) would wear thin on me very fast.

    One finger lick: Don't bother.

    Licking the *entire bowl* of chocolate cake batter, like I did this morning? Quick-add 100 calories, 'cause there's no way that it was anything less than that.

    Cake batter is the >:) .

    I don't think it's a crazy question, little things can add up. I would probably log it, just estimate as others have suggested.

    It depends on the finger.

    If index finger, sheesh, everyone knows the answer to that one and since you asked the question that would make you a troll.
    Thumb = two index fingers.
    If pinky finger = 1/2 index finger.
    Ringer finger = 0.954 index fingers
    If it was the middle finger, your naughty thoughts negated the calories and you get a pass.

    Middle finger example below:

    If you are on day 5 of this "over the top" measuring behavior, I predict you will get burned out by day 10. Measure as accurately as you can within reason. If you feel you had too many "licks", a walk around the block should cover it.

    Don't make this so complicated.

    I have to stop myself from saying "I already logged this, I have to eat it!"
    No, no I don't.
