This little website has been helping me for a very long time, and I have logged on every day for the last year. I lost 80lbs [with other diet tools] and was finding it difficult to find a method to keep me on track. I am pleased to say that I have stayed the same weight now for 3 years, and just want to wish all of you good luck with your goals. You can definitely do it, and with MyFitnessPal and the community here, you will maintain it :smile:

    That is incredible! Big HUGE congrats to you! and thanks so much for sharing. I've wondered at times if there were any people on here that stayed on throughout maintenance/maintained for a long while. It's been a huge success so far for me and my mom. We'll both likely be counting cals for life too. Again, congratulations!

    I'm up to 260 days in a row with this site. I hit my target after 3 months. Every calorie I've eaten or burned has been tracked. It's a part of my life now and I'm glad to say I've held my target weight for 5 months. I treat it as a simple math problem. Calories in. Calories out. Just need to balance the equation and weight/fitness are under control. You really can do it. It's just takes practice and discipline at first. Then it becomes second nature.

    That is awesome - congratulations! Maintenance is the thing I have really struggled with in the past and it's encouraging to hear of others that have lost and maintained over a long duration. ONe of my goals right now is to log on (and record all my food) for 100 days. I'm hoping at that point to set a new goal for the next 100, and continue on and on over a year and past it, too.
