[quote=Anonymous]I lost about 150 lbs with calorie counting + exercise. When I was losing I averaged about 1250 calories/day. I tracked my intake religiously, and weighed my food using a digital scale. The good thing about a lower calorie limit like 1200-1300, IF you can sustain it, is that it forces you to eat very, very well to get all the nutrients you need and stay satisfied. I could not have sustained 1250 avg over 16 months if I was hungry all the time; I HAD to eat really well to not be miserable, and making smart choices that kept me full and satisfied became a deeply ingrained habit. When I had to lose baby weight later, it didn't take much effort to get back down to my pre-baby weight, and I didn't need to calorie count again - I just went back to my old habits, and those are what are keeping the weight off.
