MFP-start after a slow but successful year (photo)

Hey guys,

basically over the past year I've dropped 30 pounds, but it's been a rollarcoaster-ride with ups and downs. Losing, gaining, losing, gaining. I'm sick of it, so here's to a 3rd attempt with MFP which I've always loved. It's time to get this done.

In September 2011 I was at my heaviest at 221lbs..
I've been down to 190lbs a couple of times since then, last time three weeks ago,
and this morning as I stood on the scales (which I've been avoiding since because of the shocking amount of junk I've been stuffing myself with) it showed me 196.4. I just upset myself with this constant back-and-forth-going.

SO, here we go again. I am 22 years of age, 5'9.2 and athletic enough so.. let's do this! Just wanted to share where I've been at and where I am at.. and believe me.. if I can do it, you can do it too! :)

    I'm about the same! I keep stopping and restarting, at this point I'm tired of it and I'm just going to make myself stick with it!
