Hi there, I'm thinking maybe a lot of you have tried many things but use calorie counting just because plain and simply it works. It is the one thing that consistently will work for me -- WHEN I work it.

I'm going to start logging on the fitday program on my laptop tomorrow when i wake up.

I hope you all have a successful day tomorrow counting calories!

Calorie counting is a little hard when you first start but stick with it. before you know it you will be doing it without any trouble at all.

Good choice ! I have done almost every diet out there , in the past and found that calorie counting is the most efficient and reliable method.

Good luck!

Calorie counting worked wonders for me and I've seen it work for some of my family members too

Good luck!

Calorie counting has worked for me. I've never done any sort of diet or weight management in my life so I was surprised when I started losing weight when I started counting calories and just slimming down portion sizes.

It was kind of stressful in the beginning since I felt like I was constantly tracking and maybe doing something wrong. You just get used to it as long as you keep tracking! I even track my bad meals to keep myself in check.

I spent a lot of time spinning my wheels, trying to eat healthy, cut out processed foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, etc. and still wasn't losing weight. It was only when I started actually counting up all those calories that I realized I was simply eating too much of a good thing. I use the Lose It app on my ipad, and once I plugged in my data into the app and it told me how many calories to eat each day, and if I followed their directions, what date I would reach my goal weight, I was hooked. Since then, I have been motivated to burn a few extra calories than I normally would, and eat a few less calories than I normally would, and the weight is coming off.

Good luck with your calorie counting. I hope you find it as common sense and easy to follow as I do.

CC works best for me too, at first I used to be hungry, but I'm so used to it now, that yesterday which was supposed to be my cheat day, i really didn't end up going too much over my CC set limit lol

It's becoming a way of life now I love it
