    I agree!!
    When I've been asked how I've lost weight I get a funny look when I tell them I'm keeping a food diary & exercising. I went to a bbq in the weekend & ate what everyone else was eating, it was such a relief!!

    I still get to eat most of the food I enjoyed before. Until I found this site I thought I lacked the motivation & willpower to lose weight & thought I was going to be overweight forever.

    Armadillo poo on toast boosts your metabolism! I read it on teh interweb!


    Yea but it's high in sodium so have some HCG tea to flush it all out.

    I totally agree with you, It takes trial and error to figure out what foods work you. Generally my idea is I try to get the most bang for my buck. There have been minor changes in which foods I eat but all in all I'm eating what I want. My fiance is pleased because my food choices have not made a huge impact on what he eats. He was worried about that...lol I am amazed about some of the food I see people raving about....but that is their choice and does not make mine wrong. The more complicated you make it the more you set yourself up for failure.

    I've thought this for a while.

    Only eat moss!

    etc etc etc.


    Really people?

    Calories in/out for most of us. Unless you have medical conditions/specific doctors advice...eat what you want to hit your macros, track it all, account for it all, and stop worrying about myths/scares/etc.

    There, got that off my chest.

    *puts on flame-retardant suit*

    :flowerforyou:

    i think i love you. just a little bit.


    i got uber-flamed once because i used splenda and "buttery spread." yes i'm planning to switch to butter, but there is a whole tub of margarine in my fridge!! i can't throw it out! ppl are starving in africa!

    I've got this brand new gimmick for losing weight. AND IT REALLY WORKS! They call it counting calories and exercising! But Shhhh, it's apparently a secret.

    Some of us don't believe in moderation and no longer eat any junk food for health reasons. For some of us, it is more about health than merely losing weight.

    You better have some papapya with that armadillo poo. I did a master cleanse last year with Armadillo poo and it was hell on my GI system.

    Agreed completely. I have been very successful in losing weight eating what I want. Calories in calories out. Find what number works for you and enjoy!

    My thoughts exactly!! I eat what I want and just make sure I am in near the green zone. That's the only way I can make this a lifetime commitment. I have been doing this for nearly 100 days and I still do not feel like I am on a 'diet'..
    what do you mean green zone? natural or vegs or what?? never heard that.
