The best weight loss advice I ever got was when my doctor said "Based on your BMI you're eating about twice what you should."

Since I was extremely house-poor at the time, I thought "Sweet, I can cut my grocery bills in half."

That, combined with living alone and a lot of yardwork keeping the house presentable got me to my ideal weight in about six months.

I've since moved and am no longer at my ideal weight.
