Starting (yet) again...

kbrown294

Having horrified myself yesterday by stepping on the scales and realising that I have 70lb to lose, I figured I was better off starting again now, rather than at the New Year as I had originally planned. I'm 28 years old, married with two beautiful sons, but all the men in my house can eat what they like without gaining a single pound!

I would love to have some support from anyone, but especially from people who also have a lot of weight to lose. My motivation is always really good to start, but maintaining the losses and not getting bored with the healthy eating it is the huge issue I have!

So, I started today, fingers crossed I can stick to it this time! xx

I added you.

You're right - there is no point in waiting until a certain day to start. That is just bad all around.

I'm starting again, too! This is why a new year, new beginnings, more support! Good luck!

Thanks guys - I'm really hoping I can stick to it this time. Looking at myself this morning, I look 8 months pregnant again - hideous! Time for a change. Thanks for the support x

I am starting again too... I gained 50lbs this last year... that means I have 50lbs plus my other pounds to loose:( I weigh today what I weighed the day I walked in 8 yrs ago to have my daughter. I need support, I need motivation. Adding you as a friend, let's do this!

I started again on 27th Dec. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for not waiting until the New Year, but I just see it as getting a head start and beginning 2014 in a good place!
Got about 2 stone (28lbs) to lose ideally, but going to play it by ear.

Would love some new friends to join me on the journey

I am also not waiting for the New Year.. I joined MFP almost 2 years ago and initially dropped 90lbs off a 365lb frame between February & April 2012, but then life happened and I let it be my excuse to start over-eating again. I've put 70lbs back on. I have to get this under control and start losing again before I gain it ALL back plus more. I refuse to get that heavy again and will take all the friends and motivation I can get!

I'm starting again too. Lost 42lbs in 2012 and then gained 80lbs in 2013. Worst year of my life. It just seems like an impossible feat to get this weight off, but I know its manageable. Got to stay focussed!!

I know the feeling! I live with my two male friends, they LIVE off pizza, muffins and pasta. If I ate what they did in a day I'd look like a whale!

Congratulations on the first step of making the commitment to start. I have one question, if you get bored with so called 'healthy eating' then why not just eat what you like while staying in a calorie deficit? Why do you have to change what you eat to lose weight? You should only have to change how much you eat - right? I'm thinking the way to stick to it is to like it - remember if you can't see yourself eating this way for the rest of your life then you won't stick to it.

Just a suggestion Good luck!

Am starting on the 1st jan if I start now I would end up drinking far too much New Year's Eve and then start the year off feeling guilty lol. So 1st jan it is. Would love some motivation as this is my downfall and I have a long way to go to get to my ideal weight... It's soooo easy to put on weight yet sooooo hard to get it off again, I only have to look at a cake and I gain 10 lbs xx

Just like you I started again....tooo..I do went for a holiday to Bali and saw all the beautiful ladies in their bikinis, while I am ashamed walking around in a t-shirt and pants. I must say though I have never been satisfied with what my body looks like. It is hard.but my goal for 2014 is to get back in shape and loose a few pounds...good luck to you!

I'm right there with you. I figured it was time to stop letting the fact that I've gained 50 extra pounds over and above what I needed to lose derail me. Its so easy to feel sorry for yourself and use it as an excuse to continue to make unhealthy choices. For me, its about choosing "junk food" over good food. Now that I'm 50, I'm starting to worry about diabetes, heart disease and blood pressure...I mean, sooner or later I'm going to stop beating the odds. I have to keep telling myself, "You have to eat like you're 50 not like you're 15."
