    I agree with people to spend a bunch of time over the next couple of weeks in the Success board. It is truly amazing HOW MANY people are losing weight in a healthy way and from what I see, for most people it only takes 6-12 months!

    You know what your problems are. You know what you have to do to make it right!

    My suggestions are:

    Buy a food scale and weigh or measure (with cups and tablespoons like the kind for baking ) ALL of your food! If you are not being accurate with your logging, MFP will not work. (mine was about $17 on amazon)

    Buy a heart rate monitor. I find it very motivating to see how many calories are burned. Also, people say that MFP overestimates calories burned in the database. (mine was about $60 on amazon, Polar FT4)

    Have a bunch of MFP friends, and actively participate with comments on their walls

    Set your food diary to Pubilc or Friends Only - for accountability


    I wish you the best. You can do it without the quick fixes which fade as quick as they came :)
