Men over 50 trying to get back on track after Thanksgiving

Hi All.

Well, the title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for some cohorts for mutual encouragement to get back on track now instead of waiting until January. I did NOT do well with Thanksgiving. I have a long history of weight struggles, and am still down ~35 pounds from my max weight, but it has crept up in the last 6 months, and I am having a hard time getting back on track. I know that motivation needs to primarily come from within, but I do find that suppport from others is helpful. I haven't been logging lately, but am getting back with it now.

Anyone interested?

Dear Howard,
After a 69lb weight loss over a year ago, I fell off the wagon after Thanksgiving of 2013. Since that time I have gained back about 42 lbs. When I was doing well I had been logging all of my food in my diary and keeping close activity records. I am involved and the current leader of a TOPS (Take Off Pound Sensibly) group. It is like weight watchers but tends to focus more on the social aspect than hard core weight loss group. I would like to get back on track and bring the other members of the group with me. Our last meeting was last night and I have recommitted to losing weight and improving my overall health.

I am interested in some mutual support, but must admit that since being involved with fitpal I have had minimal involvement with other members. That said, I admit I am unsure how this is to all work exactly but willing to try and figure it out.
