I've been looking at some of the success stories and I'm feeling uneasy about some of the MFP success stories. I'm noticing that some people losing large amounts of weight over a 3 moth period. I have come up with the conclusion that in some of these cases, there are a few people who have used other methods to take alternative routes then losing weight the natural way so this is the reason for some success stories.

Is this giving us (who are losing weight the natural way) false hope?

I need some input!

    Everyone loses weight differently based on age, food intake, and active level. Just think, slow and steady will win the race. :)

    nope! I started Feb 28th- the last day of Feb. I have lost 51lbs. I have not taken diet pills/drinks whatevers...I do drink Celcuis which I guess it is a diet drink but I work 2 12's back to back and use it as an energy drink because I do not like carbonation which most energy drinks have but I drink 2 a week if that- I found that the more weight I have lost the less I need the energy drinks. I could not tell u the last time I had one- now that I am thinking about it.

    I started working out by using the wii fit- wii active1 and 2. Now that it is summer I have started biking and running.

    I am sure that I could have lost more weight if I eaten better but I love chinese and pad thai- I have stayed close to the cal count but I make sure I am within 100 cals if I am under.

    no big secrets- it works :D

    All NATURAL for me. Joined MFP on January 11, 2011 and down 90 pounds so far. It takes lots of hard work, never sway from my diet program, always tweaking things to keep the metabolism moving and I exercise a LOT.

    People lose at different rates for different reasons, men vs. women, exercise, age, how much they have to lose to start with, etc.

    Thanks for the positive input! I just didn't want to make huge expectations for myself that I could not keep up with. I ill continue with my plan and continue working out!
