Hi,
My name is Danita. I am new to My Fitness Pal and hope to do really well here. I have been on plan somewhere else and lost 17 pounds but in the last two weeks I gained 11 of it back. For some reason I can't stay motivated so here I am on to trying something else. I have got to do this, I just have to. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Welcome! I love your handle - I've often thought women our age would make great spies.:flowerforyou:

    If you've gained 11 lbs in 2 weeks it's likely water weight. With a lot of the diets out there that's what happens: you lose a lot of weight but it's mostly water, and you gain it back as soon as you're off the diet. MFP is a life style change. The weight may come off more slowly but with changing eating and exercise habits there is a better chance it will stay off.

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Welcome, Danita,
    MFP is a great place to be. This site has changed my life. I hope you will find what you need here.

    Take it one day at a time
    Take baby steps
    Stay open minded to new ideas
    Drink a lot of water :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    I find that it helps to log my food ahead of time so there are no surprises :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    There's a great thread on the "Motivation and Support" board called 50+Women. Check it out :bigsmile:

    Welcome! In the past I had tried every 'diet' imaginable - always would loose for a month or so,, but then could never keep it off. This place is about a total change - and they are changes that you can make and stick to for the rest of your life!!

    I now you can do this! I know you can be successful this time!

    Enjoy the tools here and the forums - check them out for support, motivation, and good common sense advice!

    Glad you're here!
