I fell off the wagon big time too. I gained it all back plus 10 lbs. Which is why I don't jump into weight loss easily. I have to be all in. I know with great certainty that if I quit again, I WILL weigh 245-250 lbs. There's no question. I can not keep digging myself in deeper and deeper. Obviously counting calories does work for me...so by golly even I don't lose another pound, I have go to learn to maintain wherever I land. No more gains, even if my body stalls out. No more gains.

Calorie counting does a lot for me that I didn't expect it too...

I love how I can splurge on things I like, as long as I plan and keep my day within my calorie limits.

I love how I naturally learn to eat healthier because it's fun to see how much food I can really eat in a day and come under 1600 calories! lol

Most of the time I do not have any kinds of cravings or feel deprived and I feel in total control- something I've never been before!
