    I love this attitude! You know, a lot of people on here who finally make a permanent change and keep the weight off, they tried many times before as well. I'm in the same boat as you! Been trying to get weight off for 10 years. Have done it a few times, but gained back. Last time I gained, I didn't gain as much as before. I have totally changed my eating habits and as a result, am feeling much better and weight loss seems easier. Good luck, you can do it! :D WE CAN!

    If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up! (The slogan I adopted when I came back for my second (and hopefully last!) time.

    Thank you, I hope to say the same here for the years to come!

    I like that thinking, thank you.
    I hereby stop giving up. So I start by naming myself CONSISTENT. This is the name I embrace going forward. I believe for you too!

    Thanks! Stick with your motto, consistency will get you where you want to be. I will give you the same advice I give everyone: Use a food scale, weigh everything, log everything. You can do this. Lots of valuable information in the posts stickied at the tops of the various forums, I highly suggest reading some of them :)

    If you haven't given up… (obviously you haven't because you're "rising up anew") then you haven't failed. Sometimes it takes us some time to get to a place of consistency. It doesn't mean you failed. Good for you for starting again! That's what success is… rising each time you fall.

    I am glad to be here, very supportive people.
    I had two great days so far. I did eat what I planned. I was not a slave to food.
    I weigh in next week.
    Planning to lose 10 lb per month. A total of 40 lbs by August 1st. Is that realistic?

    Losing 35 lbs in 17 weeks. Plan to achieve the first milestone by July 29.
    Its overwhelming. One day at a time, the day will arrive and focusing on this personal victory is important.
    I choose to believe this is POSSIBLE!

    You haven't failed at all, you've been practising :smile:

    One of my favourite quotes is 'Fall down seven time set up eight'
