When I started weighing food and counting calories I found that is soooo easy to accidentally slip in a few 100 calories here and there without even noticing.

That's all it takes to make a difference between losing or gaining. I added a mile or two walk every day to burn just a little more calories just in case. Ended up dropping 50 lbs in about a year without any suffering (and kept all but 10 of it off).

Yeah. You have to be so regimented for calorie counting to work "as counted".

Weighing food, and being selective about what I eat, on top, really helps.
