    totally agree with you. i was a victim of diet plateaus, crash diets, diet pills, slimming teas, herbalife etc. (name it and i had it) for many years since i was a teenager. as i read in one article, the best diet is NOT DIETING AT ALL where the word diet means crazy fad diets that will result in quick weight loss (namely muscle and H2O loss, not fat) but only to regain it quickly. some are trying to take advantage of distressed people by selling something that will promise quick weight loss. eversince i started tracking my calories, i slowly learned eating the right way in the right portions without even dieting and it also made me start to eat breakfast and not skipping meals. although i had my plateau for 4 months (no change in my weight nor my measurements) but only to discover that my body is already resistant because its so used to what im doing. but when i started to challenge my body with more strength training workouts and an extra day of workout, i lost add'l 11 lbs., 5 inches on my waist, 3 inches on my chest and 2.5 inches on my hips. (i'm a pear shaped woman btw). from an obese woman last year, im now in my normal healthy weight range.

    Glad I found this. I feel a plateau coming on and I'm one of those workout like a maniac and stay exactly within my calorie allotment. Gonna see if I can head off that plateau. Adding some PNB and almonds right now!!!

    Love your wit and attitude.

    One of the hardest lessons I've learned in the last year is that some weeks, I will not lose.
    But I've never been one to workout like crazy. I loathe working out. So to become such is just not gonna happen. Sometimes, I wish I could get "addicted" to working out. Or that I at least enjoyed it more. But I don't. I accept that, make myself do a certain amount, and be done with it.
