Weight Change = Calories IN - Calories OUT

This simple formula is all you'll ever need to know when losing weight. The scientists at Harvard and from many other doctors health professionals and dietitians will tell you the same thing. you'll not find permanent weight loss in a bottle of pills, some exotic fruit, or by starving your body of essential nutrients.

Member Success Story - Paula, 37 Years Of Age Mum of 2.

"Hi my name is Paula and I joined GetYourWeightDown.com in February 2009. I have been struggling with my weight ever since I had my first son 4 years ago. I tried many so called miracle drugs and quick fad diets with the same disappointed results. Some of the diets I tried were torture and impossible to sustain for more than 2 or 3 days, ending in failure. I decided to join GetYourWeightDown.com as they didn't claim to be a miracle drug or solution and what they claimed made sense. To be honest I knew calories are important in determining weight loss but I preferred to look for the easy weight loss route. I must say after 2 months of being a member I'm amazed with the results so far, I have lost 14lbs. You can see my progress in the chart below. The tools, guides, resources and support within the members area made this so much easier than I tough it would be. I feel great, look great and seem to have so much more energy and vitality. My next challenge is to lose a further 10lbs, and the thing is I know I'll be able to do it, and if I'll be able to so it so can anyone!!"
