    Eating what I want, but weighing, logging, and keeping within my deficit.

    Tracking calories! I tried doing low carb and it worked for two weeks like a miracle. The first week I went back to eating regularly I gained the weight back PLUS three additional pounds in a week and a half! It's just not a sustainable lifestyle. I will take notice if I go super carb heavy one day and try to eat slightly less carbs the next day but that's about it. You find that when you have a balanced diet, your fats, proteins, and carbs work themselves out much better. Some days are more out of proportion than others but as long as they're not ridiculously out of balance, the most important thing and consistently long term successful thing that has worked for me is calorie counting.

    Strictly tracking calories, staying under my calorie goal, and not eating the workout calories back has worked excellent for me for the past month. The weight loss has been so consistent it's surprising!

    I hope you can stick to this and feel healthy for as long as it takes to reach your goal. @kfizza1

    But at some point (maintenance, if you get there), you're going to have to eat your exercise calories. I found it best to get my head around that sooner, rather than too late.
