I'm a yo-yo dieter. I hit a place, and decide I really need to get this together. This is getting ridiculous. Then I diet for a few months, and lose some weight. Then I get bored with it, and go back to my old ways. I chose to try the calorie counting, just to see what would happen. Tomorrow marks a week of when I started. The first couple days were above my calorie goal, but only by 170. Going from eating the amount of calories I was, to eating a net of 1,200 was a HUGE change. So even with the slower start, I'm still proud. This time feels different. I don't feel like I am starving myself. Do I want to eat all the time? I won't lie, sometimes I do. So in order to eat more often, I've been choosing healthier foods. In order to get more calories, I've began exercising. This morning I took my dogs on a walk, and even RAN with them. Not for long, but I did it.
Basically I'm looking for people that will see my progress, and say something. People who I can see are doing it, so I know I'm not alone. I feel so much better. I want to keep it going, and for that I need a network of people. If you want to, add me.

Hi there,
I know the feeling, I used to have that problem, I'd lose a stone then gain it back slowly over the next year, then start losing it again. And over the years it was always a little bit more on than off untl I was in the obese weight category.
About 18 months ago I finally got on top it. I'm now using a technique until it stops working or I get bored of it, then instead of giving up and gaining it back like I used to, I switch to something new to get the loss going again. I've tried it all and I've been in the healthy weight range for a few weeks now for the first time in over 10 years. It feels great!
I'm sure you can find a way to overcome your yo-yo dieting. Feel free to add me if you want some support, I'm on here most days.
Best of luck with your journey.0 -
