Hi everyone!

So, I've had an account on here for a while, and I used it for about two months, and then I fell back into bad habits. I haven't really been back since.

I've noticed that in the past times I've tried to lose weight and get healthy, I felt like I was doing it for other people. But now I've realized that this journey isn't about what others think of me. It's about what I think of me. After all, people come and go, but I stay with myself for life, and I might as well love that person, right!

Anyway, now that I'm back on here, I noticed that a lot of the friends I had before on here don't really update anymore. So, if anyone wants to be friends, I'm here!

Thanks for reading!

    Well, Welcome back :flowerforyou: Good job for coming back and making the brave decision to get this weight under control. Feel free to add me. I have a long way to go, but I will get there. And I will support you along the way.

    Welcome! I set up an account back in 2012, but it only lasted about a week. I have been back for 3 weeks now. I am really trying hard as well. I love the food diary. That seems to really be helping me. I love the message boards as well.

    Feel free to add me as well. I am on here every day!!

    I am right there with you! 2 years ago, my weight loss was around 70 lbs. Since then, I have gained roughly 50 lbs back. I have done everything from cry about it, scream, get mad, yell at people, and blame others, but it is MY fault! Just recently did I figure that out (duh, should have know that all along, no one was spoon feeding me gobs of sweets and junk but myself!). I am back in the right state of mind and ready to get this going again! Welcome back to the journey! We are in for a bumpy ride!
    Feel free to add me :)
