Encouragement!

PatrickRunner

I want to encourage those of you who have lost weight only to gain it back again! I lost 60 pounds and gradually gained most of it back. I was mad at myself for gaining it back and didn't want to start the process all over again. If you've lost and gained it back you can do this! I started with some small changes August 1st and have lost 54 pounds overall. I wanted to get to my goal weight before the new year starts. I hope my story has encouraged you and feel free to send me a FR if you would like some support starting over again!

Wow congratulation! So how did you do to start over again ? Do you have any special diet ?

21 day habit forming challenge- 1. Drink 64 oz of water 2. Eat 2 to 3 servings of fruit and veggies 3. No junk food 4. Be active at least 30 minutes daily!

Also changed my diet to add more protein through carb cycling.

I'd also like to add that the first time I lost the weight I used a low calorie diet that wasn't sustainable and didn't strength train. Now I'm eating my calories back and lifting weights to build muscle as I don't plan on gaining the weight back again!
