    This is my 2nd. I got too busy after my son was born and he was (obviously) my main focus. I came back last month, but this past week I've been religious about it and workout out too. I feel that I'm better able to now that he's almost 6 months old.

    This is my second round, I joined in Sept 2011 and didn't stick with it very long, opting then for Weight Watchers instead. Got within 7 pounds of my goal weight and decided it was close enough; got pregnant, got sick, gained over 100 pounds!!!!! Been back for 368 days now and have about 40 pounds to go before I get back to where I want to be.

    I came here for the first time on June 17, 2013 only missed last weeks logging as I didn't have internet access...I will be here next year, and the year after etc....

    Lifestyle for me now...and it's too easy with the phone app to log as well if I am at the office or eating out.

    This is my third. This time I've been here for 2 years, 3 months. The other two times, I didn't last but a few weeks.

    I stopped logging for a few months last summer. I wanted to test myself. (I did fine) Then I came back when the cool weather hit. I wanted something fun to do over winter. One of my MFP friends talked me into starting New Rules for Women last month, so I will have to stay at least until sometime in August. I can guess at my calories by how I feel, but protein is not so easy so I will need to track at least as long as I am on this program.

    This is my second time around. I was on it six months last time, lost weight then stopped.

    After gaining the weight back, :angry: I started again six months ago and have no intention of leaving ever again. I learned my lesson!

    Round two for me. Went for about 3 months last year, dropped some weight and then got off track again. Back about a month ago now and feeling committed :)

    I've managed to hold on for a year now! LOL
    There have been some weeks where I've not logged on but I haven't 'left' and hopefully I won't. :laugh:

    This is my 2nd time back, tonight as a matter of fact, is my first log in in months. I have gained the wait back and I am going through a depression, which I believe is the weather. I feel like this every winter. I am sluggish and unmotivated. I am going to try this again. Wish my luck, as I will be routing for all of you. I see a lot of you have come a long way!! Congrats on your successes. I did good with this before so we will see what happens!! =)

    Seasonal depression is definitely a real thing. Getting enough vitamins (especially D) and doing some exercise can do wonders to combat it! Good luck!

    This is my second time, it worked but I got tired of the pressure I was putting on myself.
    I'm much more realistic with my exercise/food now and it's working out better for me.

    Yep yep! I am the same way!!! This is probably my 3rd of 4th time. I don't think I took it seriously before since I wasn't logging religiously (especially my weekends and when I would eat badly when I knew better). I got depressed so this time, I'm logging it all! No hold-backs! I am also serious about why I want to lose weight/shape-up so I know I'll be better. I just have to be real and stop putting myself down for going off track. It's better to get back on the train than to just jump off completely.

    Thanks for answering everybody. It is helpful to read all of your replies. I feel much more committed to stay the course knowing others have made more than one attempt and found success their second or third time around. I see many people are also making it a life time commitment. Cheers to them. I hope I become one of them.

    I have been a member for years, but I never logged more than one meal here and there and one total day or so. I would return every so often and log something and change my weight. I never really sat down and looked for support and calculated my goals until this time. I am 43 days in now and down 14 pounds. I wish I would have done this when I first joined!
