I lost weight a long time ago after finally learning how myself ( never knew as a child ).  I became an inner shitlord through that process, I'd been led to believe starvation mode and other such bs, so when I started seeing pounds fly off by counting calories ( laughably fucking easy ) you better believe I was mad as hell. How the hell can someone not count cals and use MFP, takes almost no effort and you get into the routine after a week or two and from there it's autopilot loosing 2lbs/week. Every time I see people planning cheat days in their counting I know they're thinking of this as a temporary thing..
