    I have a lot of weight to lose, (about 80 lbs total) so I started out with the attitude that this is a marathon, not a sprint. I do everything I can to make my life as normal as possible, meaning that I do not obsess about food or my weight. I have my sights set on next summer, not next week. By then, I'll be a year older and 70 lbs lighter. Slow and steady wins the race.
    I have managed to make MFP something sustainable. I can do this forever. It's not a "diet".

    Eat all of your calories, even your exercise calories. If you are hungry, exercise more and eat more. Or set your goals to lose half a pound a week if you have it set for one.

    Make it comfortable for yourself.
