    hi Francine,

    I can identify with you...I have over the last 18 months gained 20+ pounds.

    I have been very large twice in my life.

    I know what losing a lot of weight means.

    Now that it is 20+ lbs it is every bit as difficult - especially when those around me who are larger (like I have been), roll their eyes or say how good I look.

    Do you find it really had to lose 15 or so pounds?

    Hi Paula,

    Last year I was really motivated. I went from 198 to 151, Then the holidays came and the winter never left ( New England) and slowly I started to cheat and not really exercise. I went from 151 back to 165 and my clothes are tight. I start up and the re lose my motivation. I feel like a yo-yo going up an down.

    that has been such a difficult thing for me too. that is why I came back to this site to hopefully get some friends on here to stay connected to my plan. I think it is so easy to cheat or put off what we know we should be doing when we don't have accountability.

    so LADIES PLEASE HELP ME BE ACCOUNTABLE!

    I will get online each morning and "report"...I would love to have friends do the same!

    the good, the bad, and the ugly (with preference for the first!)

    I also got down to a really healthy weight years ago and then gained it back. Right now I'm 5'6" ~170 lbs. I'm looking to get down to 150 lbs over the next 3 months (if possible) by eating healthy (high protein diet), strength training 3-4 days a week and running. I signed up to complete a Tough Mudders with some friends in early September which is keeping me accountable to do both endurance and strength training. Feel free to friend invite me if you'd like. I have been logging religiously and it would be nice to have someone else to motivate me and hold me accountable if I start slacking off again.
