    Yes for sure I have lost 134 lbs using this app. I have learned after 46 years on earth that I can't be trusted with food intake. lol I was 450 lbs last August. You don't get to 450 by making good food choices. I have now realized that I just don't have a healthy relationship with food so I need a place like this to help me out. Feel free to add me for additional support. I plan on being here for a long time.

    Are you counting? Is so, is it or is it not working for u?

    There are a lot of MFP that are counting to lose weight, counting to maintain weight, counting for fitness, training, etc.. So the population is wide and reasons are numerous.

    What are your goals, etc... :)

    I prefer tight weight to loose weight.

    But yes, calorie counting works.

    I use it for the community board. Counting calories is the least of my worries.

    If losing 15lbs in 100 days and being 1lb from goal weight is success - I'm thinking it's working. Now, I'm starting to ease into maintenance, which oddly is harder than losing.

    I am still a bit in denial myself, but sadly yes, it is all about calories in Vs. Calories out. I miss my calories in....

    Absolutely. And I don't shy away from tasty treats as long as they fit in my calorie goal.

    It CAN'T not work, Bro.

    It's guaranteed to work for everyone.

    Physics and Chemistry, right?

    Surely it works for everyone that does it properly? If its not working then its because you arent doing it right or there is some medical issue.

    even with a medical issue it still works .. it just might be lower calories and medication that are effective

    Yes, but not just calorie counting. The food data also provides the nutrient levels for a given food. That is, IMHO, equally important.

    The app isn't what does the work. You are. It's only going to work if you count calories accurately and set sensible goals.
