When I was in high school I ran cross country and then rowed crew for a season in college, so weight had never been an issue for me.  Once I gave up crew, I led a pretty sedentary life.  In the past when I had tried to lose weight it was always by exercise.  I felt that I ate relatively healthy food already so I must have needed to add back in the exercise that I used to do.  I could never keep this up long term.  Part of the problem was that results were slow to come by, which was very demotivating, and then life would get in the way.  The exercise time was much too easy to give up when something else needed to be done.

With Perfect 10, I was just changing the way I ate; which is something I would have to do anyway.  Reading ingredient lists took a little getting used to and I had to plan ahead a little more, but these are just a few minutes extra a day vs. 1 hour for a workout.  And the results were immediate.  I lost 6 pounds the first week just cutting out sugars and grains.  I hadn't lost 6 pounds from weeks of exercising!  So once I knew it worked, it was that much easier to keep going.  I lost 30 pounds in 13 weeks!
