Ha. I knew some self righteous internet dweller would find something to snark about here
Luckily it says more about you than me

Actually......
Coming into a Internet forum created specifically for people that are counting calories to lose weight to say "Nyah Nyah, I didn't count any calories and look at how great I look" sort of makes you the self righteous Internet dweller.
You look great, and how you lost weight is your choice, but for people that have more than 8-10 pounds to lose, counting calories is a proven method that has worked in case after case after case.
*DING DING DING*
This is pretty much what you did with this post, OP
ETA: you do look great, OP, and congrats on your success. You achieved it the same way as the rest of us: a calorie deficit. You just happened to not count yours.0 -

I think you look great, but I have to say that counting calories is far less stressful and difficult than putting such rigid restrictions on the foods I am allowed to eat. congrats on your success.0

Wow!!! Excellent job! This is amazing motivation thank you so much for sharing0
-
WTG :-) You look really great.0

You looked great before, but you look killer now! Congrats!0

I agree with what some of the posters said about some people need to count calories that have more to lose - you didn't have that much to lose in the first place, not to mention your age - you're 22 - your metabolism is far better than those of us in our 40's, etc. Not discrediting what you did because you chose healthy options overall and that is afterall what we're here for and how we would like to live our lives for the most part so congrats to you for achieving your goal.0

Congrats!! It is not only about numbers on the scale, but it is also about getting healthier and stronger- and you look fabulous!!! GIves me some more motivation to keep working towards my goal (although I have a lot more to lose to reach my goal, and I need to count calories to stay on track!)0

In...
...for a later discussion about the "didn't count a single calorie" part...
...but first, I'm going to the WW forums to see if anyone found success without counting a single point...and the keto forums for those who did it while eating tons of carbs...and the crossfit forums for those who worked out in a Planet Fitness...
I don't know about that...It's "Myfitnesspal," not "Mycaloriecountingpal." Although, I've used this site primarily to count calories (to no avail...apparently, I can't count. haha!), I'm now using it for weight training advice. I guess, I need to go to Bodybuilding.com, if I want to be totally in sync with the entire community?
(I DO recognize that you were making a joke, btw. I'm not offended, at all.) :flowerforyou:0 -

Hey guys. Hey. Look at me. I SAID LOOK AT ME! :mad: No fighting. This is suppose to be a supportive community. We're suppose to lift each other up and inspire, not kick each other in the shins. If someone set out to lose weight, and they've lost it...Why not just congratulate them. For those who have lost weight and those who are working on losing weight now, you know how hard it is. So why give someone a hard time who set and met their goal.
Count calories, don't count calories. At the end of the day, a pound lost is a pound lost. I congratulate and applaud anyone and everyone who is working towards their goal or has met their goal. Cheers! :drinker:0 -

Sometimes people make threads here that predictably inspire negative feedback. This could be a standard rah rah thread, but for the added middle finger to the title. Have to assume there's a desire for drama.0 -
I see a dramatic difference! Good job!0

I don't see it that way. She's just someone showing that there's many ways to lose weight, not just counting calories. If you ate well and listened to your body to know when you are full, you will lose weight. She didn't say counting calories was a bad thing. It just wasn't for her. Grow up people!!0 -
So much butt hurt.0

Nice job... and pretty figure too. What type of workouts did you do?
thanks!
In the beginning I did pure cardio, so running and elliptical. About a month in I did less of that (because i find it mind numbing unless i'm in the mood) and did toning videos from the ladies at XHIT on youtube. So it's cardio in that in gets your heart rate up, but toning in that it focusing on mind to muscle connection.
Now I do XHIT more than going to the gym because its infinitely more fun haha 0 -
Great job! I can definitely see a difference... and I was cheering for you when you said you could finally get that skirt over your hips -- I know that feeling! Enjoy!0

So much butt hurt.
LOL I know. People get really upset when the way they've been doing things doesn't work for others and vice versa. I guess in this large large world with a diverse set of people there's only ONE way to do things, and how DARE you do it differently, because that automatically means you're rubbing it on.
Ha, whatever.
People should expend more energy on their own lives rather than worrying about other peoples'0 -
Is Facebook broken?0

Congratulations! That is fabulous, and I can see the difference, you look great. I am one of those people with a lot more to lose than that, but your accomplishment is TOTALLY worth celebrating! Bask in it, you deserve it, good job!0

You're projecting. All I did with this post was share my success in the success story section. I had a certain goal and tailored my methods to fit what was most comfortable to me. By no means was I trying to say "HEY LOOK AT ME LOSERS! I DIDN'T COUNT A THING." I added a different narrative to the fitness zeitgeist: you CAN lose weight without having to obsessively count calories. This site, i thought, was for a diverse set of people with diverse goal. My 23 year old goal was to lose my college pounds and get back to a size 4/6, which coincides with a 10lbs or more weight loss. Ok, so now somehow because I'm young and I didn't have much to lose, my journey is considered null or even more, bragging
Give me a break. ANYONE who found negativity in this post was looking for it. Confirmation bias. Dare i say they are actually probably insecure, and are upset that I didn't have to count a thing and they did. This is justifiable anger. But it's a PERSONAL problem, not my problem. I will not be made to feel like I'm showboating or bragging or doing it the wrong way because there is a collective (mis)understanding that there is ONE way to do it. There simply isn't. EveryBODY is different.
Simply put: get over it. People WILL do things differently. It adds to the diversity of life. And if it upsets you, you have thin skin and have your own personal self work to do.
And thank you so much to all those with inquiring minds or encouraging words. Luckily there are more of you than the anklebiters.
I will not be apologetic for sharing my success, for my use of MFP for my OWN needs, and for my way of doing things. I plan to keep losing weight and keep doing it on my own terms. If that angers you, stop clicking on and replying to my posts. These arbitrary MFP rules of the road bull crap is an advent of simple minds with too much time on their hands.0 -
Congrats! You also gave good advice for weight loss.0

You seem upset bro. Maybe you should just relax and return to not counting calories on the website based around counting calories. Which kind of makes me wonder what, if anything, you used the site for aside from posting your success story.0 -
Too sweet! Great job reaching your goal!!0

you look incredible!0

Some people have big fitness goals to reach and others may have smaller ones. Big or small it's still HARD WORK! Congratulations on your victory, you look amazing (before and after).0
