I am sure many of us have tried more than one diet in the past before finding the one that worked.

It has been asked before, probably several occasions but I sure dont mind answering again =)
Well, I remembered last night that my dieting career started when I was 15 and I did that atrocious "Coke Diet".

so it is working for you?
i am curious about my calorie intake so tomorrow...since i forgot today...i am going to see what an average day is for me. i am not sure how to count salads from the salad bar at krogers though
Someone had mentioned Fitday.com when I first started on this board(think it was Rely =)),and that really helped me figure out how many calories different foods had(it lists many different types).You can also keep track of how many calories you've consumed throughout the day at that site,along with exercise and weightloss.It was a real eye opener when I first started watching my intake O.o
I have since started counting calories again,so we'll see how it goes.I know that when I stopped doing it for a while,while I didn't gain...I wasn't losing either,but I also tried to remember what foods I ate and the calories they were when planning some meals.

Previously, I'd work out at almost the same intensity I am now (well now that I am a certified instructor I work out SMARTER, not harder) but I did this for almost 3 years and saw maybe 2 pounds gone from the scale all that time.
SBD helped me REALLY lose the weight and get smart about what to eat..it's not restrictive (only the first phase, which lasts for 2 weeks is) and very easy to follow.
But, to refresh memory, I am doing a low fat version of Atkins: low fat, low carb, 1300-1500 calories a day and keeping carb intake to under 77g. When I keep my carbs under 50, I notice a difference. I saw a dietician for this primarily to lower my cholesterol, and it did work. It went down EIGHTY points.

Yes ma'am it's a little toasty outside.
