Back around again --wedding in 2 years--need friends

amandaevans83

I started on November 14th 2011 and by April 2012 I had went from 188 to 168. I had actually went from a size 16 to a 10. I was so excited and shocked because to 29 years old I can't ever remember myself wearing a size 10. Then I began to slack off on everything, but I didn't gain any weight back right away. I did not start gaining again until the end of August 2012. I weighed myself and had went back up to 176.6. I was not happy because that was almost 10 pounds of the 20 I had lost. I am starting over again because I need to do this for me to be a healthier me. I started back counting my calories again on September 4th and I have started exercising again. I do the elliptical for at least 20 minutes 5 days a week. I am also more deteremined because I will be getting married on September 20 2014, so that gives me 2 years to get this together and keep it that way this time. Keeping motivated is the key and is also the hardest part about losing weight because when you hit plateaus then you want to give up; that is what happened to me in April 2012. I am really hoping to keep it together and motivated this time around. I wish everyone out there on MFP the best of luck with all their goals and staying motivated. :flowerforyou:
