    I lost weight on both those plans, but unfortunately, I gained it all back and then some. When I started MFP a little over a year ago, I started losing about 1-2 lbs a week. It was slow, but consistent. Several of my friends wanted to lose weight at the same time as me, but they wanted something that worked faster. They all tried various programs from Ali pills, to low-carb to cabbage soup, etc... Turns out they all worked, but I'm the only one who kept the weight off. They gained their weight back, just like I did on those plans, but the calorie counting is something I could maintain.

    It's boring, and slow, but hey, I'm down over 100 pounds and at my goal weight. My friends had much less to lose, but they are now heavier than I am. So, if you wanna keep it off... I recommend counting calories and finding foods / recipes that you like that are low in calories.

    I decided to change my lifestyle about 10 months ago: healthy eating, regular exercise because I got sick and tired of being sick and tired ... and my health problems were getting worse rather than better. I've lost about 41 pounds, which averages out to about 1 pound per week (about the same as you). Because it's not a diet and I'm enjoying what I'm eating as well as my exercise program, I'm hopeful I'll stick with it. As others have said, it's a lifestyle change. I've come to believe diets are psychological poison ... they set you up for defeat.

    The only diet I use is the Move Your @ss & Quit Eating Crap diet. Works for me.
