[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1206609, member: 22335"] 869 days ago I started a diet. I did it to see if one of my theorys regarding intake and output was correct. After all, I see people every day who tell me that they "don't eat very much" yet can't lose weight. I also did it because I knew I was getting sleep apnea, and I wanted to avoid CPAP if possible. I lost most of the weight in the first 9 months and the rest by the 15 month mark, settling at 50 pounds total. My goal was to get under the 25.0 number for BMI, and I did it. Even better, 2 months ago I was still there and hit the "preferred" (lowest) rate for a new life insurance policy. Based on a tip from a patient I looked for an App to help, and settled on MyFitnessPal.
