Who has lost weight successfully without fasting?

There seems to be very little traffic anywhere else now, but fasting just doesn't suit me. I get to a point mid-afternoon when I struggle to look after the DCs without being irritable. I give in and eat something to see me through, then I just don't see the point and binge.

So although I can see te merits, I've tried time and time again but just can't do it.

Low carbing seems costly to me, and I don't have mug imagination as far as replacing sandwiches and cereals go.

I'm thinking of just tracking with MFP to educate myself on TDEE, and doing plenty of exercise. Has anyone had success with a simple approach?

I think you've hit the nail on the head there sooper - it is deathly boring but it really does work.

Everyone used to ask me how I'd lost so much weight. I think they were hoping I had found some magic secret that would turn them into Kate Moss overnight with little or no effort. When I told them "Eat less, move more" they just rolled their eyes and looked disappointed.
