I'll tell you something. I don' t like tracking and I don' t do it consistently, but if you are not tracking and not doing a program, you have no basis to know what works and what doesn't. Period. You can justify it however you want to yourself, but unless you have some basis to analyze what is working and what isn't, you will waste a lot of time.

I hate tracking but I force myself to when I get stalled. You don't have to do it forever, but several days or a week can reveal amazing information about why you are not losing fat. Leigh has great stuff on this board about measuring and getting real about your portions, look around.

On the question of programs--we can talk about all the great programs that really work, or don't, but unless you are willing to commit to a program and do it, it doesn't make any difference. New Rules is pretty flexible and you can do it as few as 2 times a week, so I liked it a lot. There are lots of good programs, especially around these boards, and all will work, but you need to find one that you will stick to and do it. Or don't. But you can't say something doesn't work unless you actually do it.
