I have tried every fad diet out there for a quick fix nothing worked and I always relaspsed and gained double back I'm still blown away by the fact I can eat what ever I want and still lose as long as I stay at my deficit!!!I am eating heathier of course but last night was our 4h Family night pizza I ate pizza!! Weighed in and I'm down another half pound I'm in shock after years of thinking diets were being always hungry or eating only whatever this works!?!? I started Sept 15 and as of today have lost 16 pounds, wish I knew about real weight loss years ago I'm still shaking the brain wash

I know, right? Wish I had known that before... Always thought I had to stop eating what I love to lose.

Exactly, it was like driving a car without a dashboard. I had no idea what or how much I was eating. When I started MFP over a year ago, I changed a lot of things immediately. Besides serving sizes and choices, I found I was waaaaay over on my salt in intake. My cholesterol was getting high and I cut out a lot of eggs and my chol. dropped dramatically. Now I don't have to go on medication for it. Keep up the good work and you will find this is something you can live with.

Oh man I remember the feeling when I first started how unreal it felt.

I think it's because we so often mix health with weightloss when they are two different things. You are doing awesome keep up the good work!
