Hey Everyone!

I really fell off the bandwagon about three months ago and I just decided to start all over again. I was doing well. I lost about 40 lbs, but I gained 25 lbs back... I felt discouraged and disappointed with myself, but the only thing I can do now is to get up, try again and keep going. I quickly discovered that I was a HUGE emotional eater... good Lord! I'm finding new ways to cope with life's issues now. It would definitely help to have some good friends on here! We can definitely encourage each other so that this does not happen again. Thank you!

    Hey feel free to add me. I am on almost everyday and I have been trying to log daily (although some days I forget :p ) I find that I eat when I am bored or stressed. I have always taken comfort in food. It's hard to break that habit especially when that has been your coping skills for years.

    Feel free to add me too! I fell off the wagon too...it was just so much easier to give in to the amount of food I used to eat. I also eat when I get bored.

    I did the same thing lost 60 lbs and then fell hard off the bandwagon. I gained back 45 lbs before I realized what I was doing. I just got back on track a couple weeks ago. This time I have MFP and it's community to keep me going. We CAN do this!!!!

    Feel free to add me and we can walk through this together:)

    I'd be happy to add you as a MFP pal! I've actually lost 75 pounds in the last year. I had lost 20 before I started MFP. Losing that much has its own set of issues for a middle-age woman, but it's all worth it!

    It's okay to take a break for awhile. Sometimes you need it to keep your sanity.

    I bit about me http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/732679-what-the-venus-index-workout-did-for-me-with-pics

    I wish you the best. You can do it.

    I'm also looking for a few good folks to check-in with. I haven't been consistent, and I'm making that my top priority. My goal is to stick to my 90-day plan (it's basically Body for Life), log every day, and eliminate sweets/added sugars from my diet.

    Hey, I'd love to be friends. I was in a very similar situation; been an emotional eater all of my life. Last year I started getting really into changing my habbits and losing weight, lost 50, but then fell into a slump and gained almost 30 back. I started getting back into the swing of things about a few months ago, working my way back up to my initial 50 lb loss, at 42 right now. Emotional eating is difficult to get under control, it's definitely a process, but it's definitely achievable! Just have to be patient, keep working at changing your habbits, and remember not to beat yourself up when you make a mistake! Just always remember, tomorrow is a new day. :)

    Any one who wishes to, feel free to add me.
    I am trying to be less of an emotional/stress eater as well. I had it under control when I was younger, but the past 10 years drifted back into the old bad habit. I've resolved to beat it and get healthy again, and so far I have been doing alright (not 100%, but it's all stepping stones to a healthier me)
    We all could use motivational friends on this crazy journey!
    Cheers!

    Hey Girl!

    Feel free to add me as a friend.

    I too have had this happen to me in the past. I just recently started back to losing weight again. I started in the middle of this past July. For many years I have battled with losing weight and then gaining half if not all back. It is very discouraging.

    Hope all goes well!

    Sending a friend request. I can certainly relate! I am not that new to MFP, I had a different profile but wanted a new profile name badly (the other was no longer applicable)...I missed logging in one day and took the broken login streak as an opportunity to make a new profile!

    Starting fresh can be nice!
