    I started off on weight watchers and moved to the stay within my calories method.

    Always ate what I wanted. Just not as much.

    I eat fewer calories than I burn

    No program. I eat pretty much the same foods I ate when I was obese, but in different quantities and/or proportions. Super easy.

    I logged my food on MFP and kept within my calorie goal.
    No special program or way of eating needed.

    None of the above. I eat what I like, within my calorie allotment.

    This one:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10636388/free-customized-personal-weight-loss-eating-plan-not-spam-or-mlm/p1

    Just under a year to lose from class 1 obese to a heathy weight (while severely hypothyroid, menopausal, without increasing exercise), and almost 7 years at a healthy weight since, after about 3 previous decades of overweight/obesity before that.

    To the others so far who answered 'other': Yup, pretty much. ;):D

    Calorie counting. Ingesting less than my body burns.

    You can lose, maintain, or gain weight with all those diets/lifestyles. I lose weight by cutting my calories.

    Like everyone here, I just eat within a calorie limit choosing what I feel like eating. Nothing is off limits for me.

    I liked the awareness I developed while doing WW in the 90s, but wouldn't do the current program.

    I lasted less than a week on South Beach.

    My greatest success is from the above, which for me includes eat a little less, move a little more.

    Pretty much whole food, mostly local and aware of my carb intolerance and from there I just eat what I want without worrying about calories but will say, I'm protein focused. Cheers

    CICO

    I hace dietary restrictions related to my health so there is a hard line on foods I cannot and will not eat, but outside of that, I watch my calorie count. I do pay attention to my protein.

    Going back to intermittent fasting which works for me since I have reflux. Have tried them all: WW - lost weight but came back on; Keto - cholesterol levels rose so doctor said go off; Nutrisystem - years ago lost 20 lbs but the new version food is horrible; Jenny Craig - horrible food. Will bring in more protein, less carbs and limit calories while exercising everyday.

    I've tried WW and Jenny in the past, with limited results. Now I just eat fresh healthy food and do my cooking at home, not counting "points" all the time. I track my food and exercise on MFP and that helps. I've lost over 160 pounds, with about 25 to go. Eat healthy, exercise. It's not that complicated.
