    Using MFP - kept my calories within the recommendation and logged everything I consumed.

    You're really not sorry. If it were a commercial, I would've advertised my product. My story is real and personal to me. Be kind.

    Yeesh...I was kidding around because every radio commercial for a gimmicky weight loss product touts their "amazing nutritional system."
    No offence was intended. Just being goofy.

    (That said, 99.99999% of the time someone touts a "system" or product in their very first post, it's bait to get people to PM them for more info.)

    Food scale. Stopped eating after 5pm. Allowing myself an indulgence meal once a week, so I don't feel deprived. It also really helped to get my family on board with eating healthy!

    Main thing was counting calories.
    And switching junk food for healthier options

    Measure and weigh everything you consume.

    Walking on the treadmill faithfully at least 3x per week for 20-40 minutes per time.

    Not eating fast food. I didn't eat it for 2 months straight and lost 25 lbs fast. Have had fast food a few times the last two weeks and weight loss has stalled.

    I don't eat the calories back that I lose through exercise. I won't lose if I do that.

    logging everything I ate, using a food scale and CICO. I was able to lose 180+ pounds in 20 months.
