    Im in the exact same boat! Ive been overweight since childhood and my whole life my weight has fluctuated constantly. I tend to binge eat and unless i carefully track calories i pack on pounds. I had just gotten to my goal weight at the beginning of the summer and ive gained 20 pounds since then!! How do you guys keep yourself on track and resist cravings?

    All I can say is I have a goal n I don't want to be as heavy as I am now...so it's up to me to stay on track and focused!

    When I first started regaining my weight, I would say I needed to lose 5 pounds. People would just chuckle and say "big deal, 5 pounds!" But it was a big deal! Eventually, 5 became 10, and now it's 20. I've been overweight since childhood. It's a struggle everyday. I promised myself I would never be that heavy again. And, I can't fit into my clothes and I refuse to buy bigger!

    Hi there. I'm starting over again myself. Five days in and trying to overcome my urge to slack already. :/

    Five years ago I used this app to lose 65 pounds, and I was feeling amazing. I really loved myself. Then the holidays hit, and it was all downhill from there. Over the past 5 years I gained back 57 pounds. :(

    I'm down 3 from that since starting back on MFP, but it doesn't really feel like much of an accomplishment yet. I have a lot of self hate to deal with, and I know it's going to take a lot of time, hard work, and dedication to get through all of my obstacles.

    But I think I've hit the point where I'm ready to really try again, and I'm hoping to find some supportive friends to keep me company on this long, long, loooooooooong journey. :)

    Didn't do very well this week. But it's a new week and I'm going to stay positive. I hope everyone else was successful!

    I'm in the same boat here. Did really well and lost almost 30 pounds in 2015, and have gained it back since then (plus a few). I have a very hard time staying motivated. Feel free to add me and let's support each other!

    This is so common, "Me too" I wonder why? I hate the gaining, then losing battle. I could use some motivating friends as well (add me :) ). What is the secret to permanant success? We are all in it together, (forever)? Ok, time to change it up! We can do this, lets get it together and get our skinny on.. I got your back, what do ya need, do you got mine??? (Damn) I wish typing burnt more calories.. LOL

    I used this app to lose 60 lbs a few years ago, then I lost my IRL support system and my motivation, and gained back 20 lbs. So here I am, starting over again. 40 lbs-ish to lose and really struggling. I have no irl support system and I really need some friends to cheer me on when I'm doing good and kick me in the *kitten* when I need it (which is more often than not). I'm not so good at kicking people when they need it, but I'm great at cecelebrating victories. I don't cut anything out of my diet, just try to be a bit smarter and exercise portion control.
