    I have spent years at the same weight. Eating salads and 'eating healthy'. For a while I walked 3miles/day. That didn't work either. Spent 2.5yrs with a trainer that cost me Big Bucks! Lost 50lbs (Worked HARD for a while at a non conditioned gym). With what he put me through; I should have lost that weight within a year.

    Recently started this myfitnesspal and am happy with it. Have already seen 5lbs drop.
    Logging everything and letting the program figure what nutritional value it all has helps me A Lot! I work hard on trying to keep my numbers within the correct limits. It pushes me to stay in line.
    Also, it tells me if I have too many calories and Must do some cardio - then I Must do some activity to get back in line. I like that I can use this to keep me on the right track.
