Has anyone else had a similar experience? I have almost got to goal and then lost my mojo,,,,started eating badly and gaining weight. Nothing drastic but I have gone up a dress size and now need to refocus and not end up at the beginning again befor its too late.

    Yes, I got to goal, kept it off for 4 yrs then due to health, medications, laziness and using food for comfort gained it all back. so here I go again. It is good that you caught it before you gained it all back. You can do it, just get back on track

    Boy do I know that song. I lost almost 50 pounds on WW and was maybe 40 pounds away from my goal weight. I gained it back and then some. I also did Nutra System and loss my weight and then gained it back. This time I am going to actually reach my goal and keep it off.

    If you wnat feel free to add me to your friends list and we can reach our goal together.

    Yeah thnaks for that!! Am trying to stick with the programme and keep away from snacks,, its hard when you have been big because this generally means that you enjoy your food. This is the case for me, I hate to be hungry!

    I hear ya. My wife and I were losing together on WW and i got down close to my goal and then we went to Prague, CR for a week. I never got back on my diet when we returned and gained everything back.

    I think the key for me this time is realizing that this is not a diet. It's a lifestyle change and a lifestyle choice.

    Some of the hardest work is in the beginning. Keep going at it every day!

    I'm willing to bet EVERYONE on this site has played that game (i've done it a few times myself) but this is the first time I had a continuous site I could rely on. So I want to thank everyone who is reading this and everyone who belongs to MFP.
