This is a poll (suggested by another person) aimed at successful weight
losers who have lost a LOT of weight (gone from obese to normal weight) and
who have maintained that weight loss for a reasonable amount of time.

1. What plan did you follow?

Made it up. Calorie counting mostly -- you know, the eat less, exercise
more, write it all down plan.

2. How many calories per day are you maintaining your weight on?

Dunno. I could tell you what my PDA says but I think that it fudges.
For example, I don't weigh apples. If I eat an apple I enter it. 81
calories are added. Was that an average size apple according to USDA?
Doubtful -- probably higher. I figure that if I'm consistent that's
what matters. Isn't there a difference between accuracy and precision?
I think may this falls somewhere in there for me.

3. What is your age, sex, height and before and after weights?

37
female
210+ before
120- after


4. Any additional comments about what made you successful.

Weigh daily and log weight, look for trends
food log
exercise log
