I did one long round last year, ending at New Years and lost about 30 pounds. Stabilized easily with no gains. I did a short round in February/March and lost 15 pounds but gained them back by June. Did another short round in July/August and lost same 15 pounds. So far I've gained 5 of them back just in last 5 days. Not eating anything different from first successful round.
I used same brand for 2nd round but different for recent 3rd round and avoid the only food I seem to be sensitive to (potatoes are immediate 2 pound gain - soooo sad!).

I expected some problems since this is a previous "set point" for me. I've never been able to get below this weight even though I need to lose at least 50 more just to approach reasonable weight for my height.

I'm fasting today and going back to no carbs for a few days to see if that will help me.

Has anyone else had this happen where short rounds just don't work as well as the long? No matter what I ate, I've never gone up above where I stabilized after original long round so that's set really well.
