Has anyone stopped counting calories once in maintenance and had the weight creep up again and gain it back?

    I don't count calories personally, but I have seen a few people on this board who say they stopped in maintenance and couldn't do it without counting. They did experience weight creep.

    Me. I didn't even intentionally decide to maintain, I still wanted to lose another 5 pounds but I just let my eating habits go and ended up gaining 15.

    I'm still figuring out how to eat normally when I'm not counting, finding a balance has been hard for me and counting calories helps.
    I should probably just do it forever!

    yes it does.it keeps us accountable and when we stop counting we end up eating more than we realize
