    Welcome back! I am a recent returner as well. I gained about 50 pounds back (30 of which were in the first six months after meeting my goal weight, whoops). Investigating why I could not maintain helped me a lot to figure out what to do this time (a lot of it was too-high expectations of what losing weight would do to improve my self-esteem and confidence). I hope that there's something you've found within yourself as well to better help you on the road to your ideal self.

    Welcome. Here are some things to ponder:
    What factors do you feel contributed to your weight gain? Over how long a period of time?
    What is your plan for this not to happen again?
    Good luck!

    Welcome back. Third time for me after gaining back 23# in 6 months after I reached goal weight. I'm doing a much slower weight loss journey and if I plateau for a month, no sweat. That's maintenance. I've worked a lot on learning what maintenance and this journey is all about, for me.
