    I'm starting over too! I got swamped with final exams for college, working full-time, started dating again, and getting sick three times in a month :s I was doing great till my life decided to hit me all at once. I struggle the most with giving myself time to relax and recover. But, I'm determined to balance my life better and to make being healthy a priority! I tend to under eat because it's either hard to eat enough healthy calories or I get so busy that I don't have time. But, that's going to change :):) excited for the new year! Signed my boyfriend and I up for the Savage Race in a couple of months to motivate us. I wish everyone the best of luck! It's hard but we can do it. I don't know about you but I've regretted a lot more ice cream sundaes than veggies! (except carrots :s those are regrettable and gross)

    Working and dating are always my downfalls when trying to get in shape!! I either overeat or undereat, there is no in between

    I'm in the same boat! I used MFP before (a different account as well) and did really well with tracking my food and being accountable for my workouts. Hoping I will find the motivation to do just as well this time around. Anyone who wants, feel free to add me :smile:

    Like you all, I am starting over again. I feel lousy, nothing fits, it is uncomfortable to bend over.... and so on and so on. I will keep checking these message boards for inspiration and motivation.

    Glad and sad i'm not alone. Started at 236, dropped down to 148 (restricted calories to below 800 a day, *kitten* up my metabolism and was gaining at 1200 a day) then recently went up to as high as 180. Hopping back on the band wagon and doing it a smarter and healthier way this time around.

    I’m starting over and need help planning meals. If I had my way I’d live off Italian foods. But that’s what got me where I am now. I usually just take healthy choice meals or soup for work and then get home and figure something out. Is there a good source for meal planning that taste good? I’m 53 and want to lose 35 lbs. Ideally I need to lose 55 lbs.

    Omg...is everyone here looking in MY mirror?

    I lost 50+ lbs with MFP a few years ago and crept back up ~15 lbs...then I quit smoking (for real) back in May (WOOOOOOO!!!!!!) annnnnd here's the other 45+ lbs. Ugh. Also....my 30th is next month and I vowed I would be sub-200 by Feb 17, 2018! (I can do it I can do it I can do it!!)

    Psyched to get going again - add me. I have no friends. :-(

    ^ well done with the smoking btw

    My weight YO-YO's terribly. I too lost a hell of a lot of weight a few years back (84lbs) and was so motivated and healthy. Gym, calories....everything

    after 2 years I went thru troubles and gained half the weight back! over the next two years lost another 30lbs

    then in the last 6 months I have gained 14lbs! I need to lose this weight, as it's not me. I am tired all the time and have no motivation. I am gaining so fast and i am incredibly unhappy.

    I dont have much to work at compared to a few years back, so i KNOW I can achieve this. feel free to add me, i need as much motivation as I can .Just being on here motivates me
