Well, here I am again at MFP. First time I joined was in 2011, and I lost 65 lbs. in one year. Hit a wicked plateau and couldn't lose any more...very frustrating. My stress-eating habits crept back and I gained back what I had lost over the course of the next couple years...with a bit extra to boot. No one's fault but my own. Joined MFP again in 2014 and found my metabolism was shot to hell. I was eating less, working out harder, and still not losing. Gave up and didn't care.

Now I care. I miss being lighter and more energetic. I was off my BP meds at one time, now I am back on them. So, I am back to MFP for the the third time to do this thing right for a lifetime!

Looking for pals and inspiration form those who have fallen off the wagon but got back on!

    This is my third time trying to diet and get in shape this yr. The first time I tried was for a Florida vacation. I dieted and exercised twice a day for two weeks and somehow gained 20 lbs. Then I tried the military diet (twice) and now I'm just trying to watch how many calories I eat and find workouts that I enjoy doing. I hope that a the third time's a charm saying workouts for you and me both!

    I lost over 40 pounds about 4 years ago, kept if off for a few years and have managed to pack 18 of those pounds back on, so I am back here on MFP, trying to be active not the forums (as I find it helps keep me more focused) and trying to get back on track. Let me know if I can help support you in this journey, we are all in it together.
