So i've been lurking the boards here the last couple of weeks, wrapping my head around the concept and yesterday it dawned on me - most of the people I'm reading posts from are either toning up or losing that last 10-20lbs that they can't lose. Which is great! It obviously works and the difference in tone and health is obvious.

It made me wonder though - has this system proven to be effective for people in the obese/morbidly obese category? By proven, I mean "hey others on the boards - anyone else start off with 50+ to lose and find this an effective method?"

Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me out with this.

    I have 100+ lbs to lose and I've always followed this principle. I have lost about 30 lbs and 2 pants sizes since August 2012, simply by watching what I eat, and making sure that I actually hit my calorie goal [when I wasn't at work I used to get distracted and not eat] . My next goal is to start some exercise type activities now that I actually have the energy to do it.

    You can friend me if you want!

    Short answer....yes! Welcome.

    Read the stickies and come up your BMR and TDEE numbers. What calorie level have you been eating and for how long?

    Yes, most defnitely in my case. See my ticker - majority of that lost by eating 1800-2200 cals a day, often much more. I averaged 10-15% TDEE cut to get those results in 12 months but a large chunk of that time I ate way more due to forgetting to log/monitor/life events. Go for it, it works!
