MFP vs. Quicker stuff advertised

It occurred to me the other day -- as I was watching the umpteenth commercial for a weight-loss program, prescription drug, experimental trial that promised dramatic, quick, effortless weightloss -- how many times I've wished I had the courage to try one of them. And now I'm so glad that I didn't. I bet you are too!

* I'm not buying anything in additional to my weekly groceries.
* I'm not just losing weight, I'm getting FIT. Never in my life have I ever been able to continuously run 5K.
* I'm working HARD for this, which (hopefully) means that when I finally get to my goal, I'll keep up the work to maintain it.
* I'm making more informed decisions about what I eat in terms of "Is this worth the calories I'll have to work off or have to balance out later?"

I'm going to keep up the good work, and I hope you do too!
