    Yes, I do for sure. I have been very ill and no one knew what was wrong with me, now they finally figured out why I was retaining so much fluid. So I am going to do my best to follow the low sodium recommendations so the fluid keeps comeing off. Breathing is actually a wonderful thing for a change.

    I have had some of the same experiences (loosing weight and then gaining it back.) I've tried so many things in the past that I lost count. Hopefully, this will be a different experience and the weight will stay off. 100+ pounds to go.

    You sound alot like me!! I have tried just about every program there is. I usually have quite a bit of success, but once I get to 150 I just totally binge and then give up. Here I am again - now with about 70 pounds to lose! This is only my third week, but so far I love it! It is easy to log calories and exercise, and I feel like I am actually learning a healthier way of eating. We'll see . . . . good luck to you! Feel free to add me if you are looking for some support!

    That's a great suggestion about working out while watching TV.

    Welcome, I am a newcomer to MFP too just his Sunday...I have to say I have experienced very similar results as you. Last August I did the HCG diet and did extremely well lost 42lbs in 10 weeks. However the said news is once i stopped starving myself I gain back 35lbs. I have never joined a support site like MFP before so I figured I'd give a try. So far I love it, lots of great tips, motivation and for me accountability is what i need. So this is helping me alot. If you would like add me as a friend and we can help one another. Good Luck with you new journey!!

    Been there (WW) done that, yoyo'd back, re-lost (WW) yoyo'd back.....vicious cycle. Also have a lot to lose and relatively new here as well.

    Hated people that ended up sabotaging my efforts after I lost, i.e you are getting too thin, don't you think you should stop dieting now, you look anorexic (never in a million years would I be confused with one unless person was blind, I swear!) . And you know, after hearing this day in and day out, you stupidly believe it and blammo, you wake up with all that weight and then some right back on the thighs (and butt and gut).

    I was never motivated at the meetings and fell off the wagon each time I joined up. Been fighting the battle on the thghs (butt, gut you name it) for over half my life. I KNOW I can do it, I DID it before (of course I was younger and it takes a lot more to lose now I think than when one is younger).

    One day at a time...One pound at a time.

    I have my goal set at 125 pounds right now but may want to try and lose another 20 once I hit that to get back to that "really happy when I was that size" weight I remember from high school. We shall see.

    Welcome to the site- feel free to add me-- Anyone on this thread really!!

    ;-)

    I feel like you just told my story in your introductory paragraph! I am also a school teacher (4th grade) and have experienced the same things through other weight loss programs. This website has so much to offer and I just got back to tracking and being serious minded about what I REALLY want in the end for myself. Health and positive self image/esteem. Are you on summer vacation now? I have made the decision to get back to participating in 5K's. I have competed in 4 of them all together, but have not done any in over 4 years. I am chipping away at the Couch 2 5K program and it might be something for you to look into if you are interested! As the others have said, take it one day at a time, and log everything. I also write daily in a journal that I use to talk (write) about how I was feeling during the day and I list the things that I had success in and where I thought I needed improvement throughout the day. I have over 100 pounds to lose and YOU can do this! WE can do this!! Best of luck to you!!! Add me as a friend if you would like some additional motivation!
