    35 pounds lost in five months ,six pounds to my goal weight
    i didn't count caloires but ate six meals a day,whole foods paired with protein, carbs, vegs and fruit.
    i credit my success to feeding my body all day long,drinking a lot of water, eliminating all sodium and sugar from my diet.
    looking at my "before" picture every day..and especially on days when i don't feel motivated..keeps me on track.

    Twenty years ago I lost 70 pounds doing exactly this. Ignore the people who “woo” at it.

    1. How much weight you lost so far 25 lbs
    2. How long it took I've been doing this for about 4 months
    3. How was your maintenance? Not there yet
    4. In short, what works? Prelogging my days and using a food scale to weigh all my food and log as accurately as possible.

    1. 50 lbs.

    2. 6 months.

    3. Not there yet.

    4. Hospital sponsored weight loss program w weekly weigh ins (accountability); logging foods; walking 5-7 days a week for an hour; no diet sodas, replaced with sparkling water; more protein and less processed food;
    not quitting when I cheat (because you will cheat and probably should to remember to “see above” and what got you where you want to go.)

    @45 lbs, 5 months, 1 month maintenance "break" (I had several social events, birthdays, vacation, etc. lined up and I knew I'd be challenged to stay in a deficit, so I aimed to hold steady. Still tracked calories, just not as stringently, and ate things I no longer make a habit of...cake, wine, bread. After a month I gained 1 lb. Yay!) I took several days to ease back into my plan, and now I'm back on track and satisfied. This is what it's all about, I think.
