One full year of logging

A year ago today, I decided I needed to get back into the practice of logging everything I eat. I'm celebrating today because I managed to log every single day for the last year - and don't plan on stopping. My original reason for the logging was to get my diabetes under control more than to lose weight, but happily logging everything resulted in both. My A1C is now 5.6 and I lost 70lbs over the last year, and nearly 100lbs over all. I'm a pretty happy camper. Now to just continue what I've been doing. :smile:

    it's good to know that I'm on the right track - 49 days into it and 45 pound weight lostt - MyFitnessPal is a great program and I'm glad Noom jacked up the price so I made the move to this far better program. Stories like yours are an inspiration to stay the course when the inevitable plateaus hit!!! Thank you for sharing it and keep up the fight

    Congratulations. I have come to the conclusion (after years of yoyo dieting) that I need to log in order to lose and that I must continue to log for life to maintain that loss. I've tried to do it without, only to regain and have to start over. I am currently at day 315 and have no intention of ever stopping. Good luck on your journey!

    Great to hear this. I logged for a year and lost 32 lbs, stopped logging and got depressed over the winter and gained it all back. I have come to believe that I am one who needs to track my food, everyday, no matter what. When I don't I convince myself I'm not eating too much, though I am. It's not that hard, really, and doesn't take long. And the results are worth it!

    You are such an inspiration! I joined MFP after my recent diabetes diagnosis. I too had been using Noom but MFP tracks macronutrients, which is far more appropriate than red-yellow-green foods. Thank you for sharing your success!!
