Hi,

This is my first post so be kind!

I was recently searching for some information on losing weight and came across the following article:

Common sense weight loss tips - Diet Tips - Helium - by Brandon Whitton

This seems to make sense to me. What I want to know is whether other people think that weight loss can be so neatly put into a formula (ie. if output exceeds input you lose weight). I'd be interested on your views on the subject.

Cheers

Weight loss really is as simple as using more calories than you take in -and there are 1000s of posts on this forum to back that up... Even the silly fad diets are still about calories - just not obvious about it.

The toughest part of losing weight, especially when there's a lot of weight to lose, is being in the right mindset and sticking with it day in and day out and not giving up...

Thanks for the tip! Read article and makes total sense to me, now to go forward and accomplish it!!

Reading the posts on the forum helps TREMENDOUSLY! I kinda live by then now. I admit, I'm new here but I visit this site everyday not just because I am new. No, I come here because the forum gives me all the information, motivation and help I need. It shows.

I think a lot of people come here every single day, including myself.

You mean yuo actually leave here once in a while?

It's rare during the day. This webpage is a permenant fixture on my desktop while at work.

5 minutes work --> 5 minutes play --> 5 minutes work.... etc, etc.

it's not a bad thing - i do the same thing

Darn, I wish I could do that at work but we have "intranet" which is like the companies sites only and some state site. Boo!!

Ya, that would suck.

I couldn't do that. Thankfully I'm the manager and soon to be partner, haha.

Hahah, maybe I can come work for you and then everyday would be like a Friday for me. :O) Oh hey, by the way, you're a monitor of this site right? When can I start PM'ing? It says five days, five messages. Does that mean I have to wait five days and have posted at least five times? I've been a member since the 29th of last month. Does the clock start ticking the 29th or 30th.. 24 hours later? Um.. er... yeah.. help Mr Manager.

Wait this post is suppose to be for Big_dude33... dude, how are you doing so far?

Yes I am a mod.

No I do not know the answer.

you can start pm'ing after 5 days and your post count is above 5 - so at 5 days and 1 minute you can pm...

Thank you.
