There is no “one” plan. The one plan is a culmination of everything you have learned over the years that have worked in some way for you. Put them all together, then you have “Madubby’s Plan” lol ;) It’s 100% customized!

AFG: Dizzyness pretty much sums up how I feel when I try to wrap my mind around all the different weight-loss plans out there, too! From your blog, it sounds like you’ve found something that works for you, which is awesome :).

Oh man, all the plans out there make me dizzy. I’ve tried the majority of them with varying degrees of success and failure.

I’m not really sure that any one is better than any other (I think they all have their merits) but the key for me has always been to find something I can hang with for the long term and not feel deprived. :)

Maintenance is the final frontier of all this weight-loss stuff! I have a lot to learn about that leg of the journey still . . . luckily I still have time to learn it ;).

Woman, you *know* how many starts and stops and changes I’ve had—I don’t think you’re nuts at all! You’re just like the rest of us, trying to figure out what works and fits best for you ;).

Hi Josie! It’s weird how I sometimes want to belong to something, but at the same time I’ve never been much of a “joiner.” Guess I’ve just got to do my own thing.

Thanks, Shannon! The Hilary Plan is a constant work in progress, just like I am, I think ;).

I am like you; routine and structure but adaptable as needed. I have tried many plans and many no-plan diets. My most successful losses have been with Weight Watchers and South Beach. Now I just need to manage to maintain!

I’ve tried out many many many plans in an attempt to find the right one that works for me. I feel like some of my blog readers might think I’m nuts because I’m constantly trying new things, but like you, the other plans just didn’t feel right. I always dropped lots of weight and felt great the first few weeks of Weight Watchers, but then I’d stop counting my bonus points and give up. Bad Heather! It’s much easier for me to have clear boundaries of what to eat (and what not to). I don’t do well with a little bit of chocolate. :) I’m thankful that I’ve tried so many things and am now feeling like this is the right plan for me.

AMEN!

You are making positive long term changes in your life that are working for YOU. You do not need to ‘belong’ to anything to be successful at what you are wanting to achieve. Good on you for having this self realization!!! Have a great weekend Hilary!
