This may be a silly question, but with all the special diet crazes going around I'm just wondering if anyone is just plain tracking their calories/macros according to the recommendations of MFP/working out reasonably and having success?

I did! Lost a good 40lbs just using MFP alone. As I read up lots on the forums and discovered newer and better techniques of doing things, I adjusted.0

I just track calories, I don't pay attention to carbs, protein etc. and I am losing, just 6.5 pounds to goal.
I really can't say enough about MFP, without this site I would have been stuck on that weight loss plateau forever.
Calories in versus calories out is the solution. Crazy diets don't work, they never have and they never will.0 -
Hell yes! Lost 30lb, am now the slimmest and fittest I have ever been in my adult life and have maintained for nearly 3 years. I can't rave enough about MFP.0

I sure did. 75#. try to eat protein at every meal but dont stress about it. I eat carbs. i eat processed stuff. i drink real milk. i eat white bread, red meat. and when i reach goal nothing will change. just track everything.0

Definitely! I lost 24 kg (53 pounds) just tracking my calories :flowerforyou: No fad diets for me!0

I love MFP I lost a bit of weight with Weight Watchers, but I would never pay for any type of diet again. I love reading the success stories it really spurs me on. I've learnt so much since i've been on MFP0

Yes, it works0

Yes, look at my ticker.. lost all of that in under 10 months just using MFP to track calories and working out 3 days a week. fad diets never worked for me, because they were just that.. a fad.0

And i was STRICT!0 -
Yes! Except I do not eat meat.0

I've lost 1 or 2 pounds using MFP0

Yep, this time around all of my weight was lost without any fad diets or crazy "quick fixes." Just counting calories - I watched my macros after I started to lift, though. I don't use MFP goals though - I eat quite a bit more than this site tells me to. I'm still losing weight, though.
[To be clear - MFP tells me to eat 1400 calories per day to lose .5 lb/week. I actually eat 1850 calories per day and lose .5 lb/week. And, no, I don't burn 450 calories a day by exercising. More like 200-250.]0 -
Yep, see ticker below...........0
-
Yes - I track my calories and try to hit my MFP goals across the food groups - I log my exercise and eat back around 50% of the calories burned.
Going well so far.0 -
You better believe! Lost 11lbs in 66 days at age 78. Wonderful program and so easy. Heading for my twenties weight! Unfortunately don't LOOK the same. Enjoy your day everyone0

I've lost just under 4kg in my first month. I just count calories and keep an eye on fat.
Works for me and I feel I have enough to eat.
I refuse to enter into any diet that isn't sustainable for the rest of my life. Eat well, and be fit and healthy. That's my goal.0
