    I have had to take some liberties with the "last month" amounts for some of the newer posters as not all will have had previous month posts, however you keep it up that will normalise from next month.

    Thanks!!

    I'm willing to support everyone who needs a way to do it. Basically its 3 steps:

    1) you keep a tight log on whatever you eat, down to sugar free drinks and ketchup over your meat.
    2) you make sure your intake is lower than your expenditure by a good 25% margin
    3) (Somewhat optional but very useful) Exercise!!

    There's literally no way you don't loose weight following these rules.

    I stopped logging my food, I actually find it detrimental and I am losing weight just fine without it but I like the general accountability here. I can see from my trendweight what my average calorie deficit is and just adjust my portion sizes if it starts to creep up outside of expected hormonal/carb related water swings. I think it's important to bear in mind there is a huge psychological element to weight loss and you don't necessarily need to log food to ensure you are in a deficit, it's one of many tools that work.

    Curious as to why you would need to log zero calorie sugar-free drinks? They have negligible calories (Max permitted is 5 calories to be labeled as zero calories) so aren't going to have any great impact on your trend unless you are drinking them in extreme quantities.

    This is the great unexplored aspect of maintainers and really all of us.

    I've lost weight and gotten to a 'goal weight.' I really liked being at that weight and my body felt good. Then I blew up.

    Why do humans choose to stop doing something that is healthy and feels good? IDK. I expect there are many psychological elements that effect each of us in its own unique ways.

    I think the problem for most of us is relying on a method we are unlikely to keep up forever, I have regained my weight twice so I am trying now just to live life more healthily and adjust if my results are not going in the right direction, weighing semo regularly is a habit that has stuck so it seems this might be more of a sustainable route for me.

    I think it's exactly it. I'm prepared to log my calorie budget till the end of my time.
