You gained because you ate more than your body needs to maintain it's weight.

Exercise won't cancel out a bad diet.

Weigh and measure everything you put in your mouth. Log it accurately. Stick to the calorie goal MFP gives you to lose an appropriate amount of weight, meaning don't make your goal to aggressive. Eat back 1/2 your exercise calories. You'll lose weight.

do you really not know why you put on weight?

you ate too much and didn't move enough

it's a balance - log your calories and eat at a defecit and you'll lose

If you cut out all your treats you may gain it back just as quick or cause yourself to start bingeing.
Just eat a well balanced diet within your calorie goal.
Add a treat everyday that fits within your goal.

If you read all your subsequent threads that you made on this exact same subject, you will find that you're going to get the exact same answers.

20+ pounds?

Why? Because you ate 70,000+ calories you didn't need.

That is the reason.

That is the ONLY reason.

Seventy ... thousand ...

Think about that with your next chip pretzel and icecream binge.

estimate your maintenance needs. Eat less than that. Which is exactly what the person said before, and you basically didn't listen to what you just quoted. Not snacking + no "junk" =/= automatic deficit.
