No Magic Bullets!

I am a believer that as far as weight loss goes, there are no magic bullets. Only one way works for the long term, and that is limiting calorie intake combined with exercise. Done right, you don't need to feel like either of these things are punishment. When I started my weight loss, I was hungry all the time. That meant that I was cranky all the time. I've since found that you can make smarter choices and NOT be hungry and still lose weight. You can do it! I know because I did, and I'm not any better than you, just more educated about how to do it.
