I am in the same boat Josh. While I won't bore you with details, needless to say college added roughly 30 lbs which I haven't really been able to start loosing until recently. For me, I track nearly everything eat as well as my weight and body fat each day (save for this week of vacation: what's the point? I'm on vacation) and so far have lost 12 lbs over two months. Who knows where I will be after a week here in AK. I agree with Robbie, letting ones self go now and again is actually good from what I have read.
