To log or not to log...

When I joined CalorieCount I logged everything I ate and every second of exercise for the first 3 weeks.  For the past week I haven't bothered. 

But, today I decided to log everything again and was so pleased to see that even without logging I was sticking to my suggested calorie intake (1550) and exceeding my exercise suggestion.

Plus, with visiting the gym every weekday morning for the past month, I've not just lost a few pounds, I've lost inches!

Has anyone else found this to be the case?

Once you get into a good eating and exercise habit then you should be able to replicate it until you get to your target weight.  I think it's healthy and advisable to spot-check that you're still on track from time to time - which is what you've done.  People who log every mouthful can find it becomes tiresome and impractical.

So you've been trying to maintain?  Or trying to lose?

I've been trying to do a bit of both.  I'm loathe to say I'm dieting, but I don't to gain any weight, and if I do lose some weight so much the better. Sorry, its a bit ambiguous!  I have two goals, in 2 weeks I need to run 5km in a charity cancer run (which I have the ability and stamina to do), second goal is my wedding in 6 weeks time.  If I maintain my current weight then my dress will fit, if I lose any weight then my dress will look better.  By the way, I'm 5ft 1 and weigh 165 or so.

I also have to say that I agree with GI_Jane.  As much as I love spending time on the Internet and CC logging what I eat, it becomes incredibly time consuming (almost as much as the time I spend on Facebook!).  Spot checking works for me.
