    what really helped you lose weight fast ? Tips ? Food ? diet ?

    I am not interested in losing weight fast. I am interested in losing weight permanently. I am set to lose .5 pounds a week and have lost 55 pounds and only had minor weight increases due to too much salt, but have never actually gained any weight back.
    A healthy, balanced diet and patience made my weight loss relatively easy.

    True for meat-eaters, but for vegetarians and vegans, the goal is often lots of foods with decent protein rather than the larger lump-sum proteins that come in the form of tasty critters.

    (I have a vegetarian teen daughter and have to do a lot of "a few nuts here, a few legumes there, and don't you want to have some more greek yogurt?")

    Doc said change or die. Quit all sugar, most salt, fast food, prepared food, bread, pasta, etc. and went back to basics. Lost my first 40 lbs that way. Using MFP to lose my last 25. So far I i have lost 10 lbs with MFP.

    There is no reason to cut out any of those foods unless you have a diagnosed medical condition.

    Yeah! You should never listen to your doctor!!

    determination, being honest with myself, tracking everything accurately, not getting upset or discouraged if I treated myself a little, learning about the importance of nutrition (calories and macros) as well as exercise.

    Slow and steady. I always overestimate my food calories and underestimate my exercise calories. And I run at least 5 miles every day.

    Never lie to MFP. Having an 'over' day is okay.. If you feel deprived you are more likely to binge. Have lost 15 lbs so far.

    Medifast... I gained back, but that's because I went through a bought of depression. While I was eating butter an crackers at midnight, I knew it was wrong, but at the time didn't care.
