    I agree with Mama...logging everyday is the only way to stay accountable and avoid amnesia with regards to diet. Heck, I have to write down a reminder to take a shower most days.

    Hi guys,
    Sorry I don't log in much over the weekends. :)
    I log what I eat, every day so that even on non-light days I can stick to around 1400 or so. But, I am trying to lose as much as I can since I still have quite a bit to lose. I just find it keeps me accountable. I also like seeing "Meghan has logged in for X amount of days" LOL. But, with that being said next week when I am on vacation I probably won't log much at all. Maybe just coffee, so I can keep my number of days going. But, we really won't be following any type of diet for that week.
    The only time I don't log something is if it is a "cheat meal" or a meal out like a burger and fries on Friday night. I had logged pretty much the whole day but not my dinner. I find it doesn't make sense to log it if I don't really know how many calories it is and it is an indulgence. I was back on the wagon the following AM and at the gym to burn that burger off. :smiley:

    Thanks for that article Cindy. Very interesting. I skimmed it for now. I have saved it to my bookmarks, so I can read it fully. :)

    Thanks for the supportive answers! I guess I'll stick to logging everything.

    I only log on light days. On other days I try to make sure I am eating lots of plant-based whole foods and I sometimes use Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen checklist for that.

    I do keep track of my daily exercise on MFP though.

    For the record, I have been doing this consistently for years and it works for me, keeping me within my goal weight range (although not always on the low end of that range!)

    So good to hear! Thanks! I'm not trying to lose much, just 5 vanity pounds or so.
