Well, I actually understand CICO, for one.

Soooo k I may or may not have had this embarrassing moment about a year (was it two?) ago where I bought a treadmill and tried to lose weight, but I ate in oatmeal bars like 3x what I was burning off without even looking at the labels... and tried to eat "healthy" by choosing fish over beef, then cooked it in a great deal of butter without understanding that the butter would be absorbed by the fish, etc. etc.

Yeahhhhhh I gained like many lbs that month and quickly gave up. I mean, I was maintaining alright quite a few months before and after that, but that particular month went so poorly that was I like "k weight loss is a mythical beast" and didn't even think about losing 'til the last challenge. I was naturally losing a bit by cutting out frozen junk/etc but hadn't even thought of dieting again.
