WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: cravings, sticking with it

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: not sure

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I lost close to 30 lbs on mostly Core/some Flex about 2 years ago. I have gradually gained back half of that loss since then. I find that Core is very workable and fairly easy to follow. I know it's healthy and probably the best plan for me in the long run. I just have to get back to doing it and stick with it this time to get to goal!

WHAT EXPERIENCES CAN YOU SHARE: I think the above pretty much covers it
