I have tried Atkins, CC, and WW in the past and WW is the only one I stuck with long enough to lose weight. I would like some people to tell me about what works for them to help me decide what to do at this point.
Any advice or stories about your experience would be helpful.
Thanks
"Commitment". That's a favorite buzz word around here. If you have that, you are golden. "Commit" to seeing just how far you can get one year from now without giving up even when the scale doesn't cooperate and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.
The folks here are so wise! I love the posts above mine!
Like they've all said, diets tend to evolve, so don't worry about getting the particulars just right at first. Start where you are and plan on tweaking as you learn and as the mood hits. I personally started with straight calorie counting with the help of pre-counted packaged items like Slim Fast, protein bars and Lean Cuisines. My diet has evolved from that to being almost entirely made up of whole foods and very little processed.
