in Introduce Yourself
I have tried losing weight multiple times. Last week I weighed in at 299 and almost cried I swore to never see the 300 mark so here I am. Only it feels different this time. Real and personal I guess :) Just yesterday I took myself on a 7.2 mile walk. I wasn't quite in shape as I thought but it felt like climbing my own mini fat walk Mount Everest :) When I came home i totally did the rocky fist pump in my driveway :) I hope to find like minded friends to have Rocky moments with me :)

    Hi. I understand how you feel, I have never felt so horrible about myself. I decided to get on the dreaded scale the other day, and low and behold... surprise surprise, I weighed more then I ever have. You can add me, I have never tried this site before, so I am new. I like it allot so far! Good luck to you!

    I too am struggling as I have reached the highest point my weight has ever been. I am new on this site but find the accountability helpful. We all need support from others who can related to what we are feeling.

    Tyna, I know it's discouraging but sounds like you are already healthier! I am making my friends do the fitnesspal too because I do better when I can cheerlead them on- it keeps me on task! I bet it would help you too! Feel free to add me if you want to root for me and I'll certainly root for you!!

    Please feel free to add me as well. . .

    I totally struggle with the motivation part of this. . .I have been in and out of here like 4 times this year alone. . .

    I've had some success, however got back on the scale and was a nice round 262. . .I hadn't been over the 260 mark in 5 years, it was personal mission to stay under that level and I felt as long as i was under it I was okay, let's bear in mind I was always over 250. . .

    About 5 years ago I got myself down to about 220, and it's been all up hill from there. . .

    Best of luck to all. . .

    You are definitely not alone. I lost 220lbs and kept if off for 4 years. Within the last 8 months I allowed myself to gain 45lbs back. During the last 8 months I tried to start over at least a dozen times, but it just didn't work after a day, two at the most. However, this time I am on my second week and have lost 10 lbs of the 45 I have to lose. It is different this attempt at starting over, maybe the timing just had to be spot on. Anyway, this time I believe it is. I wish you luck and hope you stay the course. :smile:
