I need to get back on track

Sorry in advance for this first paragraph rant if you want skip to the second one. Im in a funk and I just cant seem to snap out of it. I was slowly getting back on track in the beginning of this challenge. I thought I was doing good and getting back into logging. I even dropped my 596 day logging streak as a way of having a fresh start but a series of events sent me right back down. These last few weeks alone a good friend (only 34 and in the best shape of anyone I knew) passed away suddenly. The following day after spending all night in the hospital before getting the news she didnt make it my grandmother went in for open heart surgery (all went well and she is now home recovering) and then the following week my aunt was scheduled for the same surgery but it was postponed due to to much fluid pooling around her heart. 
Anyway I really feel like blah with the fact I havent been exercising and I have been eating horribly. I know this challenge is ending but who is up for a new one? I am ready to recommit to myself and get my life back under control. I remember last year when I was so happy to be back in 'one derland' and now im on the verge of losing that accomplishment. Please say some of you would like to do another. I love the support and encouragement this group has and really need it right now. Its like day one all over.

I totally want to do another one. I lost my onederland and want it back preferably before the new year.

I hear ya!!! You can see I stayed the same just about the entire challenge. But I do plan on getting back on track next week after the Labor Day holiday. So I'm all for another challenge here. Sept. 8 is the first day of weight watchers at work and it's also the first day of my 4 week diet bet that I signed up for on dietbet.com I figure if money doesn't help motivate me nothing will. LOL So I'm hoping to do great things in whatever our next challenge is here on mfp!!0

I'm really sorry that your friends and family are going through all that, SilverStormi, and especially about the terribly sad news about your friend. That's so hard.
I've been having a lot of trouble balancing work stress (nothing dramatic, just my stress eating tendencies creeping back) and my workout schedule and figuring out what a sensible deficit is, so have basically resigned myself to maintaining through my race this weekend. So I'd love a chance to get back to it post Labor Day. Maybe Halloween focused?0 -
I would love to do another challenge winter will be harder for me so I need the accountability.0

If it wouldn't be too much of a bother I would love it to go to X-mas. Granted of course I would jump on the next challenge too.

Yes! I would love to start another challenge!! I had already met my goal -- with three weigh-ins left. Then I was in a horrendous car accident and I gained 20 pounds. I stopped walking, stopped charting/weighing my food, and pretty much just laid around recovering. It's just so shocking how quickly it piles back on. So if you start another challenge....count me in. I'm so sorry you're struggling, SilverStormi. It's not too late to get back on track.0

Thank you all. My aunts surgery has been canceled and she was moved to a different hospital and now was told she needs a heart transplant. We will find out this wednesday if she is even a candidate so please if you can send positive thoughts her way. I don't want to think about what will happen if they decide she isn't.
Also the new group was created. I did a halloween challenge so its another 8 week challenge. Im ready for bed right now so invites will be sent out tomorrow when I have time otherwise you can find it at the link below
