Managed it last year but put it back on quicker than getting it off.
Know all the reasons, comfort eating, lethargy and myriad of very poor excuses. Have the Brompton for part of commute and the mtb for local rides, neither of which have moved for 4months.
I generally pride myself on my own appearance and the weight plusses stress me and causes the comfort eating. A nasty spiral not helped by a disposition towards compulsive behaviors.
That was quite cathartic.
I use Garmin Connect and my fitness pal for calorie counting. Big believer, and it works for me, that use more than than you take in and the weight will disappear. At home we try not to eat processed or packaged food which makes the calorie counting a bit more awkward as you have to put the ingredients in and then size portions.
