Hey everybody,

I need some friends!

In 2010 and 2011, I went from 272 lbs to 170 lbs. It's now 2012, and I have gained back, oh, 60 lbs of the 100 I lost. I have been trying to privately track my food on here, but it's just not working. I can't seem to stay on the bandwagon for more than a day or two. So, I figured gaining some friends would keep me accountable!

Thanks everyone!

Now, if I can only get myself to upload a "before" picture....

    I have a very similar struggle. back in 2010 I went from 265 to 180, was just lbs away from fitting nicely into a size 8 and I met my s.o. Gained back every single lb over the course of the next yr. Every pound. Well now I'm back at 193, joined here to get a better grip on my emotional and late night eating. I just do this one day at a time. Try to shift the way I look at foods and how I let them control so much.

    I wish I had a 170 picture! I am pretty photophobic, and 170 wasn't my goal (I'm only 5'3").

    I'll make it my goal to get a current picture up tonight. Yikes!

    Hi Erin,

    I'm also 26 and struggling! I was 239lbs at my heaviest (the day I delivered my son in early 2010), and managed to lose 50lbs in the year after having him. It was a constant struggle, and I cringe thinking about the weight I've put back on since then. I got pregnant again mid-2011, lost the weight and then put a few pounds of it back on. </3 We can do this together! :)

    Hi! I am 26 years old also, I gained 70 lbs during my pregnancy, and after I had my son I was at an all time high of 275 lbs. My son is 3 and I can no longer call it "baby weight". I need support as well. I will add you!
