Fell off the wagon, put back on 75lbs, finally lost the 1st stone of it again

TheLongshot

Hey all,

I was a real regular on here in the last two years, managed to lose 70lbs using MFP and was much happier as a result. Unfortunately I had two emergencies surgeries in a week on a sensitive area of my body and I fell off the wagon in a big way, going heavier than I was to begin with.

It's been a major struggle but I'm finally back on the wagon and today lost the first of the five stone I need to lose to get back to where I managed before! Proud of myself, I've been struggling for months now to find the motivation to climb back on the diet/fitness wagon.

Life does have a way of getting us off-course from our goals, doesn't it?

Congratulations on getting back on the wagon!

Carry on!

Good for you for getting back here. I too have gained back all the weight I lost. I just didn't keep up with the healthy lifestyle and it bit me in the butt.

Congratulations for making the decision to get back into the swing of things. I'm sorry you had such a hard time with your health. Welcome back! I've lost and gained back the same lbs. a few times in my life so I do understand your struggle. I've currently lost 21 lbs. of 112 I need to lose. Never give up!

I take it a stone is 15 lbs?

You Brits are adorable!

It's 14lbs
Us Brits are a bit funny! Many of us still use stones and pounds for referring to our own body weight but use grammes and kg to weigh everything else!

Such a struggle isn't it? I've sent you a friend request so we can help each other

Just for the sake of illustration, this was me last time, from 264 lbs to 190lbs



Would love to get back to that again!
