    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    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! <3

    you cant start again, you didnt start last time.
    You cant be serious this time, youre only serious once - the time you succeed.

    read this to see how to make sure that THIS "starting again" is your official starting line.

    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!

    I'm back again too!!! (hence the name icandothisagain). I need to lose about 18 lbs, and I want to do it before the **big 5-0** in March. This site is amazing, and the people so supportive. I'd love some friends along the way!!
