I was on here about two years ago. I made some awesome friends, and miss you guys dearly.
The short of it:
I lost 70 lbs in about 10 months, then saw my dad get gastric by-pass and he lost that much in like 3 months. It made me feel like I worked way too hard to lose the weight. I became depressed and discouraged, and I gave up.
I'd started slowly gaining the weight back.
Then, about 3 months ago, my wife and I split up. I gained every pound back that I'd lost. My clothes don't fit well - they're too tight. My back hurts constantly. I get out of breath just going up the stairs from the basement... This is not the (fitness) life I want to lead anymore.
I'm not looking for sympathy on my situation, I caused enough of it to realize that I don't need it. However, I would love some support from people who also want to bust *kitten* with me.
