Restarting

Best wishes to you on your restart! I am restarting again too, it doesn't seem to get any easier with each try but I'm going to keep trying until I succeed!

Add me if you want and good luck. Well done on having a plan and wanting to restart. I need to lose 50lb and have been umming and aahing about exercise. I'm ok with the daily cals of 1220 but trying to do too much exercise to lose 2lbs per week. Its not really working as I have lowered my immune system again so need to start out slowly and eat as healthy as I can.

Yes, restarting again here too... I have about 40 pounds to lose and just keep putting it off. I am committed this time; however, and have started on my elliptical again. So here we go - good luck to all of us!

Good luck chubbyspice, and everyone else! I too am restarting, starting a couple days ago. Let's go get'm!

I am restarting today. I was told I couldn't exercise till after surgery...8 pounds later and they have pushed the surgery back and told me that I should lose about 10 pounds to take some pressure off my veins. And the only exericise I can do is swimming... I need the encouragement!

I know I need to restart but as much as part of me wants to, the other power is overpowering me. I think a lot of mine has to do with working night shift. I know that is an excuse but it is incredibly hard to get a routine down when I work night shift and (not only that) but do not work set days. Good for you. I am hoping to be right there with you soon!

The important thing is to keep getting back in the game. You can do this! Good luck to you. Add me if you'd like. :-)

Hi there, I just joined MFP as well, I wish everyone great success on our weight loss journey. Just stay positive, We all can do it!

Please Add me if you'd like:happy:

I restarted yesterday, and was depressed to see I started a pound heavier than last time I "restarted".

one day at a time...one decision at a time. that's all it takes.

the only thing you can do with the past is learn from it. think about why you have struggled...think about what you can do to help avoid those struggles in the future. plan ahead.

oh, and I strongly recommend only weighing yourself first think in the morning...after the morning bathroom use and before you eat anything. Its the most consistent reading you will get because its difficult to duplicate your day, each day.

best of luck to you

Good thing about restarting. You have the tools aready.
This is my second time around. 2 years ago, also starting in May, I did this. I am losing weight at the same pace as last time. This time I am less worried about stuff. And I am determined to log for a year. Get it all done this time, then work on maintenance. That is where I had problems the last time.
You will do fine. Pace yourself and celebrate every victory.

I restarted last week. Tough and slow going for me - but I think the key is that I restarted. Never give up, right? I've lost 4 of the 7 pounds I regained while not logging or exercising (I got lazy and then had a medical issue) which is great and encouraging. Good luck everyone, we can all do this!

Anyone looking for motivation, advice and support feel free to add and message me anytime!!! I know how tough this journey is and after the long journey myself I love to help others on theirs!!!!!!!
