xGreatWhiteNorthx

I swore I wouldnt get up into the 200s
Again.
I went from 235lbs-157lbs and I let myself get here again.

Looking for motivation and accountability.

Girl, I hear you! Did the same. Threw out the old "fat clothes" swearing I would never get here again. But here I am. Here WE are. The truth? We did it before, we can do it again! Never stop trying! Power in numbers! Every day you're trying is one step in the right direction. You. Got. This! 😁

My weight has gone up and down for years. But through the years and the older I’ve got I have learned so much about food and health.

frksfrau

Same here. This year I gained 15 of the 59 I lost. I told myself that I wasn’t going to do it again. So I am back to working out 4 to 5 days and logging my food. I’m gonna get back into my cute clothes

LivingtheLeanDream

Its hard but you've lost before and you WILL do it again.

jc4meandu

It will happen but everyday is a new day and a new opportunity. Don’t beat yourself up to bad. Just get back up and take it one day at a time and make good healthy choices and before you know it you will be where you want to be. Key is don’t give up!!! Add me if you like support. I’m in all the time !😁❤️

girlwithcurls2

But you're back. Just keep at it. Reapply what you learned the first time, successes and mistakes. There's success in coming back too. It's frustrating as heck, but you can do this. Take one day at a time and you'll get back to where you were. Try to be patient and see if you can figure out where you fell down last time so that you learn from your mistakes.

eta: Look at all of the hugs you got!!

I got down to 145 from 215, and then got back up to 170. Back in the 150s now but struggling to get lower.

We can do it. We just have to stay consistent. Don't have an end date goal. Never stop reaching for it.

Shahs31

Same! I lost so much motivation then my mum passed away and I turnt to food to cope, seeing all my clothes that used to fit is so depressing, we can all do this together! Motivation all the way from me 😊

FrecklePatch

Same here, too. From 218 to 180 now I'm way back up to 230.

We can do it!

hugs! I know the feeling. I lost 30 lbs last fall and felt great at around 130 lbs and now I'm back up to 150 so I've gained 20 back. I feel like a failure. I know it's all my fault and remember all the bad choices I made in meal choices and overeating and not exercising for months. I'm back on track as of yesterday and going to do this.

We know we can do this! We proved it to ourselves already. I'm here if you need a buddy!

whitpauly

It's a terrible feeling to hafta go back to your"fat" clothes 😔 I know I went off track and where,too many pizza nights, Halloween candy stashed in my work drawer,a desert every night,not tracking precisely,etc! I thought I was being active enough to even out the extra calories but apparently not,now the holidays are upon us and I don't want it to get even worse😭

jim_n_virginia

Please feel free to add me. I know your pain as I lost 50 and gained back almost all of it and now down 25 again!
Comes back so fast!!!

Calamitycazza

I lost about 4st and felt amazing but here I am, 4 stone plus extra heavier!!! I need new friends to help motivate me as i am determined i will get this weight off and keep it off!!! Please feel free to friend me!

spells1977

OMG it is like i have written this! I am absolutely devestated that i have let myself go over the last 2 years and almost back to where i started. I have piled on the weight like it's going out of fashion!! I'm worried for my health and well being so i have started logging properly today. I have to do this. Please everyone feel free to friend me

gemiller87

I hear ya! I think a lot of users here are or were in a similar boat. I was 290ish and got down to 245 purely based on running and not changing my lifestyles and then ended up at 350 a couple years later... now at 237 and dropping. There's lots of good posts about how to change it and your habits/lifestyle decisions. I feel like I'm getting it right this time around! Hope to see you around MFP!

michele_1314

I did the same thing! Went from 225 to 150. Just weighed myself and I’m back up to 218 two years later!

jeagogo

You are so not alone. I restarted a few months ago and was in a similar position, having gotten back up to my highest ever weight even though I was fairly active (just eating horribly). I'm halfway back to my goal and so happy that I made the decision to start focusing on all aspects of my health again.

Me too! Was 244lbs went down to 165 and went back up to 232 (lots of stress) and am now back to 215. This time around weight is not coming off as fast as it used to. It’s frustrating. I have been trying Intermittent fasting ... it’s been working pretty good, but that’s just me. Wishing you motivational energy.✨✨✨

amy19355

for me, success has been all about using the food scale and logging what I eat.

when I skip logging, or use my eyes to portion my meals, it doesn't take more than a week for the weight to start creeping back on.

kdubsc

Me too! Gained back 20 pounds due to poor eating and not exercising. Starting my logging and eating healthy today. We CAN do it!

riffraff2112

I've lost 40-50 lb three times in my life (separated by about 10 year). You know how to lose weight...so get back to it! Then learn how to keep it off

poisonesse

Many of us have back slid and regained weight we lost. And this is why logging my food and daily weigh-ins are now my way of life. I'll never stop because I know that once I do I will slowly but surely start to gain again. The few minutes a day it takes me to log is well worth it if it means I'll stay healthy and at the proper weight! For me, this works!

awenasangster

I went from 196 to 150 and now back at 170 after losing a few kg. Mad at myself as well but at least we know we can do it! It may be more frustrating, but it's less preparation the second time around. Just got to commit!

Wow, 157 that is some achievement, I'd say if you can do it once you can do it again.
I hope to follow in your footsteps, I'm currently 228 and 157 would be good.

GeminiLady159

Bright side: you’re taking control before getting all the way up to your earlier start!! You’ll get get below 200 before you know it and be on your way back down. Good job getting in check now rather than later!!

lois1231

It happened to me too. Last. January I started at 273 and got down to 220. In September This yearI started over again at 253. I am down to 217 now

Aaron949

You've got this! FR sent, please send the motivation and accountability back this way as well!
