That was a long time ago. I lost most of it about decade ago and turned most of the rest into muscle. Running daily.
Don't count calories. Read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Mini-Habits-Weight-Loss-Suffering/dp/...
Calorie counting does not work (that's exact point of my post). What you need to do is to teach yourself to eat and behave as if you were healthy and this gets down to building right habits and displacing bad food with good food. Notice I am not saying dieting -- removing food you like and leaving void in your diet is a recipe for frustration and breaking your promise. Instead, learn to embrace healthy food and slowly include more of it in your diet and you will naturally start eating less of the bad ones.

Works for me. And yes, you shouldn't eat garbage. In other news, water is wet.

As someone who has maintained his weight for roughly 15 years... calorie counting works fine. You're looking for an external source to blame for your internal shortcomings.
I usually force myself to start counting calories again once I go off a weight I'm happy with (readjust my intuition.)
And that means counting calories going in (food) and out (normal resting use per day + potential exercise)
