    I've learned that most of the foods that I enjoyed were so high in cholesterol and that my eating habits were counter productive to the medications I was taking. This was a huge finding for me and the reason why I am now off all of my medications.

    I've also learned that there are a lot of good people on this site willing to lend good sound advice and motivation during those "weak" moments!

    For me, it's taught me that there is a "magic number" of calories that will help me lose weight. The math of it is what keeps me here!

    On my own, I simply did not know how many calories to consume.

    I thought 2,000+ was a lot and 1,500 or below was "good" for dieting for everyone. I knew 600 calories would be a bad idea but I actually just thought a typical "dieter" ate under 1,000. I never really thought about shooting for a specific number and starting at almost 1,700 sounded high to me but makes more sense than just aiming for the least possible calories. Now I see why previous attempts failed.

    Having a number calculated and following it (with progressively smaller numbers as I lose more weight) is the whole reason I am here, and the reason I have lost 53 lb since March that is all weight that I thought I might never lose (I lost 45 lb before joining).

    I have learned that I can have a dessert without worry as long as it is part of my caloric budget. I do not offer advice unless it is positive but love to read all that others put out there.I have learned a lot from all you peeps and have done a lot of research because of all the things I have learned here. I appreciate all that you have thought me .My sincerest thanks to all.Happy Thanksgiving

    to think if something full of empty calories is really worth it that day esp. if I have no plans to exercise.

    1. I had not a clue in the world how many calories were in certain foods (especially restaurants) even though I thought I was making a "healthy" choice
    2. That this can't be a short term, one time goal and once I lose the weight I can go back to the way I was eating
    3. That I can never eat at a fast food place again (nor do I want to)

    Agreed. Sometimes I'm shocked in the opposite way, though, like certain foods that I would have assumed were high in calories are not. For example French toast (homemade with sugar free syrup).
