    Gotta add excessive alcohol to this list too. While drinking within your calorie range is doable, it's rare that I hear, "I drank just enough to NOT get a buzz." Once enough alcohol is in the system, inhibition goes out the door and excess calories pile up.
    Some can handle it, but with most clients I've had that like to party and drink, they have a much harder time losing weight even when their eating is good.

    I agree with almost everything you wrote but I admit that I am quite confused about the 1/4 and 1/2 pund thing. I am a "metric " person and as far as I know 1 kg is about 2 lbs. 1/2 lb would make it 250 g and 1/4 would be 125 g. This is so little that ... it is like drinking a glass of watter or having a good session in the toilet. If one does not have an electronic scale it is not even possible to see such change at all. If I were to loose 125 g a week I would have given up ages ago and I lost 17 kg already! 0.5 kg a week is realistic in my opinion.
