    The funny thing is once they hear you're doing it through hard work and determination, they are no longer interested...LOL

    So true!!!! It's learning proper nutrition, proper portions, how many calories you require a day, and moderation!!! It's not a fad or temporary fix. It's a lifestyle!!!!!!!!!! And yes....I eat a treat every single day! I love the skinny cow ice cream products!!!......100 calories for most of their truffle bars and 150 for their cones!!!

    I've tried the fad thing in the past. None of them worked long term. Anything that doesn't allow you to have the foods you love is doomed to failure. I'll even partake of carbs!

    YES!!

    People just don't get it when they see a dramatic body change and the answer to "How?" is "By moving my body a lot more and moving my fork a lot less."

    What is it about humans that makes us so much more comfortable with being told what to do than asking ourselves what's right? Must be a blame thing. If YOU tell me I'll lose 25 pounds if 10 days by eating only organ meats and rutabagas and I don't, then it's YOUR fault and not mine ...

    Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I'm going to continue eating less of what I like while keeping it healthy AND having a lovely lager or two on a regular basis.

    Thanks for the chuckle!

    This topic is awesomeness!

    I lost 43 pounds on a fad diet, gained 13 back, and now I switched over to the MFP lifestyle.

    So the funniest part is all of the people that saw me lose weight *dieting* now think I'm cheating and several have told me, Well, it's good that you're going to maintain your weight loss counting calories and exercising

    Maintain? I am crushing this!!

    Awesome!! My sister in law always says that I can't have this or that because I am on a diet. :explode: Couple of months later she is still eating her hamburgers and I lost 45 pounds. Guess the joke is on her.

    REALLY!?!? Type it up, put it on a website, charge $19.95. While you're doing that, I'm going to go pee in some cups and market it as a "bonus offer" when you buy two of what you're selling. GO. *rushing off to start our empire*

    Haha I love this topic and the replies are cracking me up as well! :) Hopefully, someday more people will understand that it is not about just "being on a diet" for a given amount of time but just making better day to day choices!

    Wait? You don't have to throw a ton of money away on some magic pills or secret shakes or fairy dust to lose weight?! For reals?! Just eat healthy??? Noooooo..... :tongue:

    Wait.... nobody told me about the fairy dust!!! ;)

    Tell me about this fairy dust. It's relevant to my interests.

    I'm on all of the fad diets at the same time. Pregnant woman pee for breakfast, raspberry ketones for lunch and just a healthy dose of phentermine for supper. I also do high carb/low fat, high fat/low carb, high protein/low fat diet at the same so it all averages out to a balanced diet.
