    Every day for 1256 days. Even when it's a "best guess" and when I know it's way over my usual goal.

    I track in some fashion, sometimes very well, and sometimes a guess......Best guess for me is better, because my brain sort of gives me a free pass to eat too much if I don't log. It IS about self accountability. Trying to maintain a weight loss with an eye to calories this time, no plan to quit altogether.

    I lost 45 lbs so right now I'm enjoying the plateau. I eat a plant food based diet centered on low sugar low glycemic foods so I track about once every couple weeks but soon I'm going to amp it up again because I need to lose about 90 more.,

    5+ years in maintenance and I track every day. Makes me accountable and ensures I don't over or under eat. Takes 5 minutes and the rewards are SO worth it. Maybe not for everyone but works for me.

    In maintenance 7 years and haven't tracked much at all in the last 5 years. Now and again I will track if I see a little weight creep happening or if I want to track my macros but I'm able to maintain my weight in general without tracking.

    This is almost identical to my situation and approach as well.

    Everything everyday. Yay. But it seems to work well for me.

    I still weigh and log everything on a daily basis. My only exceptions are Christmas eve through to boxing day and when on holiday so maybe 10 days of the year. Once a week I have a guesstimate meal with my family as its about the only time we sit and talk, but its never anything too crazy and doesn't affect progress.
