I just started my diet in January and just started using the MyFitnessPal app about a week ago, my wife has been using it for about a month now and finally got me on board. I gave up drinking, dipping, and eating out.... been one heck of a ride so far, haha, giving up all my favorite things. Rewarded myself the other day with a new Walther P99c. Also having a cheat day once a week has helped.
I found out that after the month of not eating out at all or any cheat days I wasn't craving things as much, so now I am going to do a cheat day every week to keep myself motivated.
I have been a part of many diets that have failed and have tried everything, probably the best diet I ever took part of and the one that I am sticking with now is eating lots of little small snacks all throughout the day, drink TONS of water, and don't eat anything more than a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts less than 3 hours before sleeping.
I am down 17 pounds since the first of the year and looking to lose about 50 more pounds until I am satisfied.
I think you understand the most important thing, and that is realizing what all of the goodies available actual possess in the calorie range and using myfitnesspal helps you manage your cravings, and strive towards a daily goal.
Feel free to add me as a friend on there, my email to add me is my username on here @yahoo.com, I don't even know you but I will give you plenty of $h!t if I don't see the words "completed his food and exercise diary for xx/xx/2012 and was under his calorie goal" on your profile update every day and I expect you do the same for me, haha
