Don't let people with no results give you advice. Those are the people who will sway you off course because they are confused themselves

Why not? If someone with no results advises me that calorie intake versus output is what controls weight, is that bad advice? Is such person confused?

And don't assume that someone who is getting results understands WHY they are getting results. Just because someone made it to a place doesn't mean they are able to discern what was important in actually getting them there. :drinker:

Exactly.

Sometimes what I learn is what NOT to do. Like my 400 pound neighbor who goes to WW but ridicules my MFP participation. Um. I've been at 21-22 BMI for over a decade.

So, yeah. No.

Or someone who has tried to lose weight for the umpteenth time but are convinced that this time they've found the magic bullet.
