Well about 20 months ago, I joined MFP and successfully lost almost 80 pounds.. From 230 to 150... I felt great, was really strong athletically, could run 6miles in 57 minutes, and was debating being a certified trainer/ zumba instructor... Well.... I moved from where my gym and all my support was, got in some hard situations, and got very depressed... Needless to say, I weighed in tonight at 226. Yup. So Here I go again, I have the tools, and the knowledge. I just got a gym membership, and I am helping my aunt out with her weight loss goals as well which will help me stay on track as well... So I'm back. My last mfp account was nisharae. I deleted it, just to have a fresh start as last time as i lost weight I was very unhealthy in my thoughts and was severally harsh on myself, which caused a lot of self hate, and on... and on.... So here I am, happy with the person I am inside, now just want to make the outside match. :) So there is my heart and soul.. Open and poured out before you know... To everyone on this journey... Keep working! It is so worth the reward that comes with it, I've never felt so good as at 150.. Here's to getting there again... Cheers!

    Hi and welcome back. Congrats on your previous weight loss. You have awesome motivation and a very positive attitude. Add me as a friend and we can definetely support eachother. You will obtain your previous goal again. I too have lost weight in the past and have gained it back. My thing was to not maintain my healthy eating habits and continuing to work out even after I reached my goals. I now understand it is a lifestyle change. Each time I gained the weight back it was higher each time. The final time I got bad news concerning my health and had to make the livestyle change. But God is good, I'm still here:wink:
