Looking for that extra push...

JohnAllen17

Hello everyone, been awhile since I was on here full time. I was on this site under a different name previously, but lost my info. Now that doesn't matter, but what does is that I had lost close to forty pounds my last go round (228~189). Unfortunately, my family suffered a tragedy in the sudden passing of my mother, that saw me completely stop my diet and lose ALL self control (this includes alcohol). So, now I'm back up to around 200~205 pounds. I know what and what not to eat, I'm just looking for people who can maybe help me with the extra motivation, or who have maybe gone through a similar situation in which they were derailed, but were able to get back on track. Luckily I'm able to stay with my family at this time, but what sucks about that is they are old school Italian so....pasta. I'm looking to get my self control back and renew my diet again. I've started step one by joining a gym and will be going five days a week. I'm feeling like I'm motivated enough, but it can't hurt to share this with people. Please, feel free to add me!

It's like riding a bike, just get in your groove and lose that weight. Take a before picture as part of a contract with yourself.

Well I haven't gone through something like that, but I am fully Italian, all grandparents born and raised in Italy so I understand the old school thing and pasta making up most of our dietary intake!
