Well, I've lost 10 lbs in 2 months just counting CALORIES!!11

All of my weight shed (114 lbs.) has been a result of working within, and keeping track of a caloric deficit. That's just how it works.5

For me it's the only way. You can be flexible, you'll learn a lot about nutrition. Lost 8Kg a few years ago and doing the same over again1

Of course it helps. If you know what you are taking in you know what you have to expend. Think of it like a budget.0

Just look at the Success Stories section of the boards. Most, if not all, have lost weight by counting calories.
I have lost 80 lbs with calorie counting using MFP's food diary, a food scale to be accurate about portions, and a fitbit to help estimate my calories out. Just over 10 lbs lost with just calorie counting using MFP's food diary and about 40 lbs with a very restrictive eating pattern (that I stopped when I started calorie counting and life became easier). All together that makes just over 130 lbs lost.3 -
Its the only thing that matters for weight loss but if you want to do it and look good educate yourself on Macro's and get a weight lifting routine started. My 2 cents
Down over 100lbs and ripped!!0 -
Depends on your mindset...if logic, math, spreadsheets and seeming 'control' work for you and fads and rules set by other people making money for you don't, then categorically yes
Calorie defecit is how everyone loses weight, whatever diet programme you follow ...low carb, keto, weight watchers, slimming world, dietician set, freelee crap, eating clean (whatever that means), removing <insert devil food of choice, usually sugar> ..whatever it's all down to calories
For me counting calories was the easiest, most flexible and maintainable way to lose 55lbs and to maintain. It reassures and comforts me to log calories
And it works for me

Outside of maybe amputation, eating at a caloric deficit (eg counting calories) is the ONLY way to lose weight.5

If I stay within my calorie range can I eat whatever I want.. Burgers, fries, chips, ice cream etc.. Or do you have to healthy? It's so hard for me to die because I love carbs!!2

It does as long as you do it as accurately as possible.0
