I have only been on MFP for about a week and I am really enjoying it, following my allowed calories along with a workout plan seems to be giving me a clear way to get control of my eating habits and get me moving again. However it seems "to easy" for some reason??? Can I really lose the 25lbs I want by following this plan or am I suppose to be doing more?? So far, like I have mentionned I am loving this site, I dont ever feel restricted.... doesn't feel like I am on a diet!!! Could this maybe be what I have been looking for all this time..... this could work for me permanently!!!

    Yes! I LOVE this site and achieved my goal using it.
  • It is good that it is easy for you. It's all about lifestyle changes and in reality, it is easy.. Calories in vs. Calories out. Hopefully it continues to be easy.

    Yes, mfp gives you everything you need to lose and maintain, if you follow it. The biggest thing you need to get is that it is not a diet but a way of life. Diets end and fail. Diets are restricting and evil. A new way of living is the long term goal and mfp helps with that.
  • Only tool you need is your own mind and body, MFP is nice to keep track of calories of course.

    I have been doing this for over 6 months. I do workout but I am not in the gym everyday. I watch my food intake and stay below my allotted calories almost everyday. I have lost 35 lbs since July. If you stick with it, this is the ultimate tool. Good luck on your journey.
