Hello....Again! Hangs head in shame!

Well I am back. I used MFP in the past (just over a year ago)and it was a great success. Last year I was overweight but three stone lighter than I am today:the heaviest I have ever been.

I know what has gone wrong. I stopped tracking and I made bad food choices. I didnt eat until late evening everyday and I would then indulge on everything I shouldnt. I moved home (over 200kms from family and friends) and I started working shifts. I stopped playing football because I couldnt commit to a team.

Anyways, that is behind me now. I am on day one of the new healthier me. So I need to make some drastic changes to my food intake and I need to get back exercising. I have decided that I will replace two meals with lipotrim maintenance shakes and eat one nutritious meal a day. I know people will be against meal replacement shakes, but I feel these are the only things that will work for me. I tried mfp again a few months back but I couldnt stick to it in work. As I said already, I work shifts. They range from 13.5 hours to 24 hour shifts. When I started in this role, this is when I seen my old habits creep back in and I started to put on weight. My job may entail extremely long UNPLANNED car journeys, such as 8 hours in the car. So in order for me to successfully get back into the swing of things, I will replace two meals. It means if I get a window of opportunity to have lunch or dinner then i will take it but if I am stuck on the road, I can drink a shake. i will also join the gym and commence fitness classes and begin walking again. I have a friend who is joining with me too

So that is my plan. If you want to join me on my journey and if you want support on yours, then please add me.

I am in a similar situation. Lost 50 a few years ago, got lazy and gained it all back. I am on almost week 3 and starting to lose again. Try to use MFP every chance you get and also get an activity tracker. It helps you keep your head in the game. I am loving mine. Good luck!

Thanks Java. Yeah I am feeling good and very positive. Need to stay focused and keep going. I am unwell at the moment with a chest infection, so I will join the gym next week. I love the fitness classes so I will get my exercise in no problem. Best of luck to you.

I am going through that same biz. Lost like tons of weight and gained it back when I stopped staying on top of it. I'm about four pounds back into it and you're not alone.
