    Excess calories. Because why cut out chocolate when I can still eat it and lose weight?

    Unrealistic Expectations.

    Once I got rid of them, once I realized that one pound a week or less was to be expected and normal, and that weight loss isn't linear, it was a snap!

    I cut out my ignorance and denial of what my actual calorie intake was and became slightly more active.
    I don't feel like I cut stuff out though but more like I added things to my life- positive thinking, knowledge, strength, flexibility, better health, stress management, weight loss.

    Excess calories. Oh, and excuses.

    Completely this. A lot of my calorie reduction came in the form of carbs due to a diabetes diagnosis, not because cutting carbs is magical. :)

    Of course. But cut the calories that were easy to go overboard with and let the poster feel satiated on far fewer calories.

    You gotta cut some, why not those? It works *really* well for a lot of people.

    Calories. I still eat the same food I ate 53 lbs ago just less and with more nutritional balance. It's really that easy.

    cut out huge portions. I still eat whatever I want but cut the portion size and monitored my calorie intake

    Once I cut out dieting, I lost weight. Honestly! Dieting is the WORST and least effective way to permanently lose weight.

    I agree. No bad foods..just foods that are bad for me. And MyFitnessPal has helped a lot with portions and calorie reality checks.
