    I did the same thing - lost 10 + pounds and gained it all back. I think we forget how hard we worked to get it off and lose track of our eating again. I am finding that logging everything I eat - even if I don't want to see it on there, helps a lot. Feel free to add me as well.

    Well, you are here with thousands of other people who have been in the same boat many times. Focus, utilize the great MFP tools and friend support, and make this one last!

    I lost 30 pounds, then gained it back over three years.

    So I joined this site. LOL.

    Same thing here! I lost over 100 pounds and gained some back :( What went wrong was losing too fast by restricting my cals to 1250 and exercising my *kitten* off but never upping the cals to compensate. I wouldn't believe the whole eat more philosophy. This time around, eating back cals, lifting weights more and differently and keeping my body happy by eating enough plus not over-restricting myself.

    I fully expect to lose weight and get strong, just keep plugging along....

    Accountability is key. That's why I feel like MFP is going to be IT for me! If i know that someone is watching, I will make appropriate choices. If I feel that someone will benefit from the example I set, I will do my best to help them while helping myself. I'm here to provide a pat on the back or a kick in the a** - whatever you need!:smile:

    Been there done that several times. You can lose it again. I swear I'm not gaining it back this time. I get so tired of battling my weight. But I think that will always be my life. Eat smart and exercise a lot.

    I understand! I have done the same! I know it is frustrating but like you said... Let's not worry about the past! It's all about the now! For a fresh new start! One step at a time! I am keeping a food log and water one too! It helps! Good luck! We can do it:)
