I joined this site over 2 years ago but didn't last long (truth be told, I think it was right around the time I met my husband). He loves me despite my being over 100 lbs over weight. He could use to lose a few, but nothing like me. So it's not like I just "let myself go" but I think we've been eating a lot less healthy and even a friend of his joked about my putting some pounds on my husband/what marriage has "done to him". Well, it's done me about 20 pounds because I just looked at my original weight that I put on here and it made my heart sink. I did so good today and I'm excited.....this thing doesn't post to my friends that I gained 20 pounds if I update it does it? It's hard to be excited when the mountain seems so insurmountable :-/

    It only posts when you lose weight since the last time you weighed in.

    The fact that you're back is a great step! Don't give up before you begin!

    Just take little steps, make little goals for yourself.

    Cut out easy things, like soda, chips, etc.

    Start doing light exercise, buy yourself a pedometer, start lifting weights.

    No it doesn't post if you gain.

    It's not insurmountable, you can do this x
