    Carbs....lost 20 pounds without even exercising

    so you mean calories...

    You can drop carbs and keep your calories the same.

    Carbs and fat for me.

    IN which case you won't lose weight, assuming your caloric intake remains at or above maintenance. Because CICO. Which I'm sure others already mentioned (this is what happens when you go to school and miss peak responding times)

    Drinking my calories. It's amazing how much they add up and I used to consume my calorie allowance in just beverages alone. Now I try to limit my daily beverage allowance to about 100 calories. Once I began counting calories I realized that most of my calories were going to insubstantial things like drinks and condiments. Just cutting those most days would've got me fairly close to my calorie goal without even paying attention to counting (But I do still count everything anyway).

    Besides calories & excuses... (Cutting out alcohol to excess also has helped, because when I'm drunk I lose my inhibitions and eat everything I see LOL) ... Also, cutting out the idea that I "can't" have something, because I've categorized foods as "good" or "bad" has helped. ... I cut out the idea that I don't have time because I'm a full-time working wife and parent. I make the time...every day. :-D

    so when are we going out drinking?

    Any time, as long as when I say, "F*** it! I want that whole pizza NOW!" you stop me! lol

    kinda like this..

    Once I cut FAD DIETS out of my life, then I really lost weight... and have kept it off!!

    Who knew it was as simple as eating whatever I wanted while counting calories? The sufferings I would have avoided had I known sooner... :drinker:

    Empty Calories, mainly drinks. Lattes, beer, wine, Mixed Drinks esp with Soda, and Soda all together (even if it is 0 calories). I do let myself have a couple of drinks on the weekends, I deserve it.

    I've never had cheese curds. I have absolutely no reference as to their texture or taste, and it's killing me not to know. Can someone help me out here? What are they like?

    Fill in the blank. I'm curious to see what people have taken out of their diets to lose weight!

    Definitely excuses and not being accountable.

    OP stop trying to take food out of your "diet" or else you'll go back to binging. You know you do that. Follow what everybody has been saying for the past 7 pages...

    Amazing, if they're fresh. They kind of squeak a bit. Microwave them for about 10 seconds so they just start to soften up, but don't melt. It's like a perfect little bite of really good cheese. Not all hard and crumbly, but still tastes like good cheddar.

    Whenever I make goat cheese, curds form in the milk after I add the vinegar or lemon juice. When I strain the curds into the cheesecloth, they form a soft cheese similar to farmer's cheese. If you've ever had farmer's cheese, you kind of know what curds taste like--mild and slightly salty--although the solid cheese has had the whey drained from the curds and so is less moist. I really enjoy the flavor, particularly when the freshly-made cheese is still warm and a bit crumbly.

    I definitely have NOT removed goat cheese from my diet to lose weight. ;)

    Caloric beverages. Have been mostly limiting my liquid intake to water, coffee (no sugar/cream) or tea for the last few years (except beer or wine once or twice a week) and it's made a significant difference.

    Refined and processed carbs!...except sometimes fries as a treat and also chips if they fit in for the day and I really really need something salty. Baked or mashed potato is acceptable as a side on the reg though.
