[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So basically nothing works, because of any of the approaches you used to lose weight actually owrked you would have been able to stick to them and kept the weight off.[/quote]

I lost weight (160 to 115) and kept it off for two years so far.  I mostly eliminated sweets and other added sugars and added exercise (from sedentary to daily brisk walk on inclined treadmill 5 miles). It took about 7 months to lose it. I didn't count calories, measure anything, track anything, weigh myself frequently, fast, cut out meals or snacks, increase my water intake, etc.

[b]I was probably eating 3000 calories for years on end to get that heavy [/b](much of it from sweets and other junk) and it was easy to see what needed to go. I maintain my current weight with around 2000 calories and did not return to eating so much junk, but I am not super strict. I continue to put in my 30+ miles on the treadmill. [/quote]

That’s very unlikely. Even if you’re very tall for a woman, 5’9”, and got regular exercise, you would maintain 160 lbs on 2000 calories a day. [/quote]
