I have been very luck in the past taking the weight off, but also in putting it back on. I now realize that I have to make a life style change, so I am here and doing just that. Good luck to everyone !!

    Dani !! Good for you-- Erma Bombeck used to joke that she must have lost something like 700 pounds in her life-- the same 20 pounds 35 times. Good for you for starting again-- this site will really help you stay on top of your calories. I had truly believed I'd never take off weight, then saw a woman on the Today Show who'd taken off 150. I was so mad at myself-- if she can take off 150, why couldn't I take off 1/3 of that? It shamed me-- so I started SlimFast, which helped with the initial 11 pounds, but I miss eating on that stuff. Then one day, looking for an online calorie counter for watermelon, I stumbed here-- and I haven't looked back. This site is simply phenomenal.

    Welcome to the party-- we're all in this together. :flowerforyou:

    I know how you feel. I have fallen off the horse again this summer and I need to get back since I am getting married next summer. I do not want to be a chunky bride. Yet I can't stop myself with sweets and fattening foods. I know what I need to do, just like you but it is sometimes hard to commit. I think after I go and try on dresses tomorrow and realize how awful I look, it will hopefully be inspiring.

    I can definately identify with you! I'm about to start losing the same 60 lbs for the second time. My "Boot Camp" instructor gave me this site and it's been a real gem. And the people on the forums are so positive and thoughtful. You can do it, and so can I!! Good Luck
