I started focusing on my weight in 2008, this led to a rather dramatic weight loss from 134 to 92 kg in about 9 months (in hindsight probably not all that healthy), after staying at that weight for some time I decided that I had become too spindly and decided to put on some muscle, this proved rather a bit harder than dropping the weight in the first place, after goofing around and making lots of mistakes I began actually gaining weight around 2010 and I've only recently really gotten the hang of controlling my weight in both directions.
I'm mainly using FatSecret as a tool to count calories, I have largely abandoned this practice during my bulking cycles as I generally just eat anything that isn't bolted to the ground in order to actually gain any weight, but calorie counting is a nice tool (some would say crutch) for my cutting cycles.
