Hey! I'm Valerie. I used MFP about 2yrs ago to help myself lose some serious baby weight. Then I got way off track and started gaining steadily. Today I weighed myself for the first time in months and I have gained 70 pounds in this past two years. I'm so angry, upset, and embarrassed by this gain. I have to make a change again, and since MFP really helped me a lot before, I'm going to do it again and try to learn from past mistakes. I'm no newbie to knowing how to eat right and exercise properly, but I definitely lose my motivation and drive a lot.

    Welcome back! :) I understand what you are saying. I gained about 30lb in a year from being lazy. I stopped logging, stopped working out as much, stopped eating well and started working night shift. I am back on my journey again and I will not do what I did in this last year again. It's not worth it! Best wishes on your journey!!! :)

    I read some of the post and found members quite helpful.
    I m 25 and have gained 20lbs in a year due to total laziness and eating anything anytime and have to get into shape as much as possible in 2 months.
    I dont know how much lbs i ll be able to lose but i really wanna make it fast so that i can be ready for my second honeymoon :D.
    It will be great help if anybody here can help me to lose as much possible in 2 months.
    Keep Smiling !!!

    Congrats on taking the first step. I've been in the same spot before and can relate to feeling everything you described. I'm so sorry you're feeling that way. I know the support here from my MFP friends has helped me in a way that nothing else has before. I'm going to send you a friend request and hopefully we can support each other. Good luck and welcome back :)

    Thanks guys! I'm definitely looking forward to using MFP again. When I used it before it was actually pretty fun to keep track of everything and see such regular progress. :)
