    Think about how long it took you to gain the weight. This is a new lifestyle for most of us. Put down everything you eat. Add me as a friend if you want. There are many good people out there. Just look at some of the success stories. I do whenever I need motivation.

    You know what really motivates me. I look at the before and after pictures and it just amazes me. I know if others can do it, I can do it too. Feel free to add me as a friend. We can motivate each other. Good luck.

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the kind words. I guess I just stopped being motivated when the summer came around and I regained back some of the weight. I keep thinking to myself, "damn I tried so hard to lose weight and then gained some back". It's just tough knowing I fell off the wagon. However, I'm back on!

    Good to hear! Although having eight pounds claw its way back is certainly cause for momentary disappointment, you only let it win if it leads to undoing all of the rest of your hard work. If someone went back in time to you at your starting weight and said, "hey, guess what, on 12 September you'll have lost almost thirty pounds," I imagine you'd have been delighted!

    welcome back on the wagon!! add me for support and we can all get to goals together!!! Everyone falls off the wagon some time or another, but the thing that matters is that you got back on and that's awesome.
