[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have lost weight using Myfitnesspal before. The problem is, I always always always gain it all back because it is not sustainable. I have this mindset of "I need to weigh/measure out and log every last exact gram of food that enters my mouth"- which is not realistic because, you know, I'm not always at home when I eat and I can't pull out my food scale at a restaurant and weigh my salmon. LOL. It's just a mental block that means calorie counting is not going to work for me. I have a significant amount of weight to lose (i'm 5'7" and 240 pounds. No judgment please.) But then I also have this mental block of like...if you're not precisely counting calories you can't lose weight! I like the control that comes with knowing exactly how many cals I'm eating for cals in cals out. But [b]it's not feasible for me. But...I need to lose weight. If you've lost weight without cal counting (like...a lot)...tell me about your experience. I will not do intermittent fasting, keto, etc.  [/b][/quote]

You don't need to obsessively count calories every day but you do need to have a general idea of what your calorie intake is. Otherwise how do you really know how much you're eating?

Look OP, you don't have to diet, count calories, exercise or anything. But then you need to adjust your expectations and accept your weight.

Sounds like you don't want to be uncomfortable at all but get great results. That is unfortunately not realistic. You will have to get outside of your comfort zone slightly to get results. The key is finding the minimum amount of calories you can cut where you don't feel miserable but helps you lose weight.[/quote]

I'm like OP. Counting calories doesn't work for me. I can't do it unless I can weigh all my food and know exactly how many calories something is. So it ends up with me eating a lot of process food because they have calories listed on it. I don't expect losing weight to be easy. And I take offense that you thing people like me or OP don't want to be outside our comfort zone. I want to find something that I can put effort into, that I can sustain over time. [/quote]
