Starting again...again.

AMEN, sister! I haven't figured out what it's really going to take for me to get back to my goal weight. I've been yo-yo'ing on the same 7 pounds for over a year and it's killing me - inside and out. I've been trying to get pregnant with my 2nd child for about 4 months and I'm almost certain its because I need to lose weight and jump start my system... it worked like a charm last time. I just need to hold myself accountable and stop making excuses. Feel free to friend me!0

The really bad thing is NOT starting over. For over a year and a half I must have started over 100 times. But somehow, about 5 weeks ago I started over and didn't stop. I don't know what it is that makes it doable one time when it wasn't before, but it happens. I would be interested to know if anyone knows why, all of a sudden, it clicks. As of today, I've lost 8 lbs. It's not a monumental weight loss. It is slow. It's not always a steady loss. One week, despite being pretty much perfect, I only managed to stay the same. But today, it is 8 lbs.
The trick is never to stop starting over until you get to a point when it's not starting over, it's just the way you live your life.0 -
I'm starting again...this time is for good!0

I am starting again as well..actually I've been running for a while but didn't track food or anything in here just with Endomondo (now I can link the app to myfitnesspal so that's a bonus! ) ..let's see how it goes Feel free to add me.0

I'm starting again again again myself... Why can't I just wake up skinny!?0

Over the past few months I've fallen so far off the wagon it's come around and run over me. And then backed up and ran over me again. But I'm feeling like crap and my clothes aren't fitting so well anymore, so I've got to pull myself together and get going again. I ordered Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30, and when it arrives I'm going to start going home at lunch to get my butt kicked.
Anyone here can feel free to add me!!0 -
Hope everyone doesn't mind me adding them too.. I'm starting again, again as well (seems like every week, lately)!!0
-
I'm in!! I am restarting my starting as well....again. I really love this site!! I need all the encouragement I can get, as I have a lot to lose (which, in essence, will make those of us losers all winners! yeah us!!)0
-
I started on here for a while, decided to do weight watchers and then came back. The important thing is that you are back! Keeping working hard and remember the reasons that you started in the first place.0

Yes once again starting...was doing great then foot surgery last year put me in the chair and just now getting out! Exercise is a big part of my weight loss and it is hard to get started...got on the treadmill last night thought I would die...but do feel better today. So here I go!!!0

Dude, the amount of support is overwhelming! I just got quite emotional about it actually, you guys are absolutely incredible. MFP is getting grumpy with me for adding so many people in such a short space of time so bare with me and I'll add everyone!0

I've done this so many times but I've decided this is going to be my last 'new start'.
I have 49 pounds to lose and nine months to get at least most of the way there to look good for my graduation, so I'm going to need friends to motivate me!
Join me in an adventure?
I start over every single day. Whatever has gotten me here has gotten me here. I try to focus on what I need to do to make today a good day. And if I screw up, I'll move on tomorrow.
That said, as time goes on, and you have a bunch of good days, your habits start to change, and it becomes easier.0 -
Hi ... I have re-re-re-started again as well. Would love to shed another 35 lbs ... support would work wonders for me ... especially getting me through those weekends !!0
-
I'm so glad you decided to start again! Look at it differently this time, success is one meal/snack at a time. Use MFP blog as an outlet when you want to have something you know that will bring you over your calorie count or go for a walk and think about your graduation. If you don't do something different, then you will continue to get the same results. Change your thinking and you will change your life. I'm so......glad you placed value on your health by trying again! GOOD FOR YOU!!!0

I will add you too! I am starting again...again too...I actually started again again Monday...I lost 30 lbs last year from end of January through June...Fell off the wagon and into old and not so great habits....re gained 9 lbs of the 30....Looking to lose those 9 and another 5...I took my eye off the prize and I am so upset with myself but I know how to fix it, it is time to put in the hard work.0

My goal is to lose 50 pounds by mid-May. My bff's wedding is this May and I need to look good for the wedding pictures lol!0 -
I have found great support through wonderful people here since I began in July. I need to lose 67 pounds to get to goal sometime in 2013. I'm going to be eating healthy from now on, so I am on mfp nearly every day. Add me if you'd like.
Welcome back!0 -
Best of luck to you,....and as you see from all the responses, you are not alone in this ! There is no shame in missing your goals and falling off track, when you decide to re-commit and try again !
I am sending a friend request,...Im on here daily and working to lose 30 pds more.

You cant be serious this time, youre only serious once - the time you succeed.

Hi all, I am restarting (again) and looking for a great support system, feel free to add me0

Also re-starting! I had lost 10 pounds over the summer using MFP, then sort of hit a wall in my life and things got out of control eating-wise and regained those 10 pounds of progress :-/ Hoping to be more successful this time around! My significant other is quite the foodie so meals together seem to be the most challenging for me. Also just ordered 30DS which should be arriving by Friday! Good luck to everyone!0

I'm starting again too! At my heavyist (?sp) ever: 259 lbs. My goal is 175. I would love a supportive group of friends to keep me motivated! Feel free to add me!0
