I've been here before but didn't log seriously. I just really need to maintain but without logging and motivation, I tend to over eat. Needing supportive and motivational people

Hi, I think thats common for everyone. When I have to record what I eat, I think about it. When I don't, I tend to pop things in my mouth. Maybe you can track some days and give yourself a break some days. I like this quote "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels". Good luck, you can do it!!0

Good morning. It is easier to log as soon as you finish a meal or snack then to try and remember it at the end of the day. It will become a habit. If you forget, just get back to it as soon as possible.
Wishing you a successful start to 2016!

What works for me is logging food the night before, it helps me with meal prep and I find I stick to what if planned. It also means less food waste and cost.0

If you have the MFP app on your phone, it's easier to log than on the computer / at least for me. Just log as soon as you eat something because you're right, at the end of the day you will forget some things.0

Hello everyone! Looking for support and motivation as well. Been yo-yo dieting since I can remember. My highest weight has been 256 lbs. Currently 240lbs. My lowest was 138 and that was when I was 20 years old. I am 28 now and just want to get my life right again. I work overnight and tend to eat at work and eat as soon I get home again in the morning. I just need to start this app again. I just need a buddy to diet with and compare what we eat and our calorie intake. Sort of like a competition. I tend to be very competitive maybe that can help me.0

I like logging meals the night before too. It helps me to know exactly what I will eat that day when I'm hungry so I dont have to think about it when the time comes. It helps me stay on track. I also try to meal prep for at least 4 days at a time to also take the guesswork out of it when im hungry.0

You can definitely do this!!! Im not very competitive at all but im willing to try.0 -
I like the idea of logging the night before
I see where that would help keep you from eating more plus not having to log throughout the day
Thanx for the advice
I definitely agree, I try to track for breakfast and lunch first thing in the morning as I am preparing for the day. This allows me to know what to expect and on busy work days it is nice to be prepared. If I don't eat something I just delete it, if I have something extra I add it, more than anything it keeps me accountable to myself and on track.
Every time I have been successful with weight loss I have also been diligent about tracking. As soon as I stop or slack off I can guarantee I will gain.0 -
I've been on MFP on and off for a few years with good success. The end of last year just ran away from me, working 3 p/t jobs and I just ate awfully. I'm now back up to nearly 140lbs so I've got some hard work to do. Most if my friends I've had for ages and they're silent friends now so I could do with new up to date supporters.
So if anyone wants a chatty, friendly, slightly weird friend feel free to add me!
Btw I like running and weight lifting0 -
I tend to pre log for the day in advance so I know what I'm eating or record it as soon as you've eaten I find that easier than logging at the end of the day as I can keep track of my carbs fat etc

My problem before was waiting until the end of the day and forgetting things It became frustrating so therefor I give up on it.
My same problem exactly.. What I did is I placed this app next to my Facebook and my IG. And every time I'm bored or have a break at work. Instead of checking on Facebook or IG, I log on my MFP instead and logging my food. Is kinda becoming a habit. Plus it reminds me on how many calories I have available for the day.0 -
Snap! I need some advice and support I really struggle doing it alone!0
