I see so many people coming on here wanting some magical solution. The solution is right here. All the answers people give over and over again are just facts. If you are really serious about losing weight, do what people here tell you to do. Today is my weigh in day of the week and I lost another pound. I've just been following MFP's calories, working out, eating back most but not all of my exercise calories and I have consistently lost 1lb/week for the last 13 weeks in a row. Best part? I haven't given up a single food I love. You can check my diary. I still eat ice cream, candy, cookies, etc. I just eat them in smaller quantities and make it work in my daily calories. When people ask me how I'm doing it, I answer, "Math".

    This is why I'm thankful MFP does it for me. I hate math.

    Yeah!

    This is exactly how I lost 79 lbs / 36 kg in exactly a year and am now at my goal weight.

    Science, *kitten*!

    Samesies! 80 lbs and counting! I hate math with a passion, but I'll be a sonofa*kitten* if it wasn't exactly what I needed.

    Great job!

    Yeah, maths was never my strong point. But something seems to be working. Down another pound this morning, making it 19lbs since January - simply by moving a little more and eating a little less. You can keep your raspberry keytones, ACV, garcinia cambognia, green tea, woo-woo pills, and assorted fad diets. I'm sticking to CICO.

    Don't forget pregnant lady pee (HCG)! People are guzzling that *kitten* like it's their job, instead of just eating less. This is how far we've come as a society? Smdh.

    I wish I could forget pregnant lady pee! I mean seriously? Who on earth would drink that when they could take a walk and go for beer and pizza instead?

    Several of my friends from high school have been posting how they lost 7lbs doing a week long juice cleanse. I'm like...yeah...no thanks.
