[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s absolutely possible. I lost 60 lbs in just over a year through calorie counting and moderate exercise 4x/week. I’ve maintained it for 13 years so far.

There are plenty of people who do this and keep it off. Most diets do not fail because of mysterious biological factors. They fail because people over-restrict and can’t maintain the diet; also, they do not make long term changes needed to adopt healthy habits and more intuitive eating.

I recommend Lose it app. Set to 1 lb/week and it will give you a fairly generous calorie budget, probably more than you think you should have. For example, I lost weight on 1900-2000 calories per day and without restricting any food groups. It is better to eat the most calories you can while still gradually losing weight - otherwise your hunger will go into overdrive and backfire.

Lastly, you’ll feel awesome after losing even 10 lbs. don’t focus on the big number, just focus on milestones.[/quote]

That's great, I'm successfully losing weight over the last 6 months - however I don' know how you did on 1900 calories!  I have to eat only about 1300 to lose weight - and I'm active!! Maybe it's may age? Over 50. I don't know. The weight loss has been slow going but I only have about another 10 pounds or so to lose now..[/quote]
