@Huntn00@mastodon.world I've gained & lost & gained & lost weight a couple of times. Why one gains & loses weight isn't rocket science but a lot of people have trouble losing weight & sticking with it. It's often said that it's just a matter of "eating less & exercising more" but, in my experience, it's really just a matter of eating less. I lost 30#s twice, just by stopping buying cases of soda & beer & stocking them in my frig at home. Took me 2x's to develop the resolve to stop drinking any soda entirely and just drinking beer with a meal when I eat out 1 or 2x a month. I still drink wine & hard alcohol regularly but much less than I use to drink soda/beer. I also happen to exercise daily (currently 15k meters on my Concept 2 rower for 2 hrs of daily exercise) but that's not the reason IMO that I've lost the weight & am holding constant at 160-165 @ 5'8" tall. In the past, I used #MyFitnessPal to track intake calories & I recommend it to those who want to do that.
