Congratulations to you on your success!

What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. I think everyone should start out with the basics and once you know what you're doing you can evolve from there.

I lost 40 lbs in 2000 and kept it off by counting my calories, being mindful of portion sizes and exercise. 2 years ago I decided not to count anymore because 8 years of doing the same thing, I figured I had it down pat. I started to s l o w l y gain weight back again. I would forget what I had eaten and my portions were slowly getting bigger. I was still eating healthy but more was finding it's way into my daily intake. Now I'm back to keeping track of what I'm eating and I'm feeling more in control again. I've lost 10 of the 20 lbs that I gained back and have another 10 yet to go but I know I can do it because I've done it before.

Congrats on your success! Even though everything does not work the same for others for example my husband doesn't have to count not one calorie and the weight flies off. Me because of my PCOS have to watch it more closely. I know plenty of people who do not have to count calories and others that do for various reasons. Great post!
