    I haven't read the list but I'm hoping it's 11 entries of "You're eating too much". Seriously.

    I LOVE this article. Someone posted it here last month. It was the "giant kick in the pants" I needed to develop honest and sustainable health goals and weight loss for myself. It made me "angry" at first to read it, since I still was lying to myself (sigh, but with "good intent", but still deceiving myself). But it's absolutely, 100% true and exactly what many of us need to be told.

    I have this baby bookmarked, and refer to it often. Stark, un-sugarcoated reality check.

    Love it! a great reminder that if you're not losing, you're eating too much and that the starvation mode is pretty much bull

    yes....I have read this one a couple of times...honestly, I get the point...however, having been there and done that, I really wish people who supposedly know better than others about this stuff relax a little bit and cut some slacks to those who are trying every hard at a learning curve....Ok, we all got it, eat less and you will lose weight, but seriously...mocking people who haven't read as many internet articles like that...just sounds arrogant and an a** to me.

    Ah ok, I skimmed it, just seems like a bit of fun to me with some solid advice thrown in but I appreciate it's not for everyone.

    Advice comes in all shapes and sizes, that's life for you! :)

    I want to print this out and stick it to my housemates door. Maybe she'll realize the reason she's not losing weight and I am is because the carbs aren't the be all and end all of weight loss.

    Also it's hilarious I am keeping this bookmarked! :D
