in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys! I was on here last year and did really well but totally fell off the wagon! (Old username was the_energy, if you remember me please add me again!)

I found everyone to be so helpful and kind and positive that I was really annoyed at myself for letting it all go to waste! So here I am one year later, in exactly the same boat, trying to put things right again!.

Current weight 298lbs
Goal weight 150 ish (Im 5'7")

Long road ahead and would really like more people along for the ride! :)

    You can add me if you like, but I want you to do something (if you have not already). I want you to take some time to really reflect on why things didn't work out last year. What went wrong? What obstacles did you not fight through? What excuses crept into your head? Once you figure this out, I want you to spend some time thinking about what you're going to do differently this time when said obstacles and excuses come up (as they inevitably will come up again and try to throw you off course).

    We are human. We will make mistakes. Its great to keep trying....but if you keep trying without understanding what went wrong last time, you're going to head down the same road. We have to learn from our mistakes and we can only do so through serious reflection about what went wrong and what we can do differently next time.

    I tell you this as someone who has been on the weight gain/loss roller coaster...as someone who did not appreciate the importance of the mental part of this journey for 40 years....and who never had sustained success as a result of it. This time is different. This time I bring reflection and learning. This time I know how to tackle most obstacles.

    Hi...I'm down 54lbs with another 63 to go. My goal weight is 176, which would be a 40% weight loss. Not sure if I'll stop there but that's where I'm headed. Feel free to add me. I find it motivates me to see what everyone else is doing.
