    I looked back at my couple year history on MFP today. Every time I get to this point in my weight loss (about 260lbs) something happens and I give it up and eventually creep back to old habits and gain it all back. Seeing this pattern (not including two stints of weight watchers and Atkins and whatever else! Ugh- so many failed "diets.") is really sobering. I'm nowhere near ready to quit this time. I don't know that anything's really different about my approach other than just being more forgiving of myself and more accountability. For me personally, this is a spiritual journey as well and I've been trying hard to give this battle to God. Cause it really does feel like a war sometimes. Anyways, I'm facing the fear that I will fail again head on, reminding myself to take things day by day and keep putting one foot in front of the other (figuratively AND literally- Gotta get those steps in, dontchaknow!)

    This group of people is amazing- keep on keeping on, warriors! I'm looking forward to a spring and summer of success in slimming! Hey maybe that should be the summer challenge title (Summer Slimdown)??? You likey?

    This is so timely you saying this! I'm also at the weight I usually give up and quit for whatever reason (250) but I'm also not going to cave in this time. I have so many bad days but this time I always get back on track again, no matter how bad the days are, and keep going. I've decided to be patient with myself and the rate of weight loss.

    I agree that this group of people is amazing and I'm so happy to be a part of it!
    Summer Slimdown sounds like a perfect title! I likey, too! :)

    Your all amazing people. This weight problem is a disease or addiction or whatever you want to call it. For me it's very painfully real. I have had it all my life. I struggle all the time. I keep getting knocked down with my eating problem and I keep getting back up. I get knocked down so much, I don't even want to talk about it any more. I just keep plugging along. It could be worse. I could have other addictions or multiple addictions. I won't mention here. I feel all your pain. All I can say is ... don't give up.

    I'm in the same boat ... this has been going on my entire life except for a very brief period in my mid 20s when I was at a weight that could be considered normal.
    Are you continuing on with us? I didn't see your stats for May. I hope you're joining us!

    It's been a tough year and I really never got started on my goals. I have picked myself up, dusted myself off and miraculously found some motivation. I need to lose weight for my health and self esteem. After being in the shadow of death and recently losing my best friend in a comedy of medical errors, it now seems I find the courage to continue this path.

    The truly difficult part is to continue. My major problems are twofold: Failing to Plan and operating on auto pilot. I realize I must plan my meals and have them ready for times when I need to eat and that I have to practice mindfulness each day to prevent "forgetting" what I need to eat. I also need to remember the consequences of my actions and how they affect my body and health, not just today but in the future.

    I had a relaxing beach trip last week but came back with 2.6 lb gain. Have been too ill to exercise but now able but have to push myself out the door,

    I want and need this challenge.

    Highest Weight: 250
    Start Weight: 215.8 (May 1st)

    Big Hugs to you, Katrena! It sounds like you've had a rough go of it with your own health and the passing of your best friend. I hope you find support & comfort here as we all try to reach our goals together.
