I've been using MFP for one month now after years of yo-yo dieting, WW (where I never understood what made up a magical "point"), and getting frustrated! I committed to one month of MFP and the simple CICO, AND it worked! I have never felt so in control of the food choices I make! Thank you MFP and for this community forum!

Congratulations!
MFP also helped me break the yo-yo dieting cycle. I've been maintaining for almost two years now.3 -
Woo hoo, congratulations! I had a similar "eureka!" moment when all the numbers came together and I started losing weight. And I completely get the sense of control, too - it feels amazing.2

Ha!
A superfit coworker said the same thing. I looked at him and thought "I'm going to prove you wrong" and 49lbs later, I'm eating humble pie because he wasn't.7 -
My problem has been that twice in the past when I reached goal weight I gradually stopped logging, and gradually regained my weight. This time around its "logging for life" for me!9

Welcome to the most straightforward reality I've ever experienced. Live the equation, love it, profit.2
