Are there any MFP success stories where a person has achieved major weight loss with just walking for exercise (in conjunction with healthy diet)?

If the world was really ending in seven days...
What would you do with this last week? Not something crazy like "loot and pillage and max out my credit cards!" Something good/positive/fun that is within your reach to do now, but you just haven't made time. I think I'll try to take my pups for extra long walks, watch some Seinfeld and Mad Men (<3) reruns, reconnect with…

Monthly menus and food budgets
Has anyone successfully planned a monthly menu and stuck to it? My husband and I (no kids) really want to rein in our spending and get to around a $190-200 monthly food budget per person.

Question about unintentionally low fat intake
I have been eating a lot of the same foods since I restarted tracking back in June, a creature of habit I suppose. I was reviewing my food logs, and I realized that I am usually a gram or two over my recommended daily protein, sometimes slightly under my carbs, but almost always well under my daily recommended fat intake.…

"cheat days" are working for me.
This isn't a complete success story - yet - but as of today I've lost 34 lbs since mid-June, and am 1/4 of the way to my weight loss goal. And guess what? I "cheat," quite a bit. I have ate pizza, cheesecake, cream puffs, barbeque, basically all the things I have completely abolished during my past weight loss attempts, as…

Hi all!
I am looking for some weight loss buddies on this site to swap food diaries, discuss motivation issues, etc. I thought it would be cool to find some local folks, so I ran across this group. Add me if you are interested!
