    I'm in! Since I was alone for Christmas, I didnt have all the rich food, the dinners cookies, as where I worked closed for the holidys as well, so I am in the process of a smoothie diet, transitioning into the Daniel diet. Hopefully I can stay strong till my husband comes home and he wants steaks and potatoes and fried shrimp. it is easier to stay strong when he is on the road but he loves to cook when he is home.

    I agree. 2012 has definitely been a rough year. I wouldn't say I'm starting over. I'm keeping my numbers from last October when i restarted. However, I'm getting more serious when I wake up tomorrow morning.

    Starting fresh is a good way to put it. I stopped working out/eating right when I got mononucleosis this year and was on a 2 month running ban. I just slacked all around after that. After gaining back about 15lbs from the 50 I lost and my smallest pants don't fit anymore, I'm horrified that I'll go back to my starting weight. Not happening, so started back on it today. :)

    I am not starting over, but I have gained a few thru the Holidays (starting at Thanksgiving) but worse than that, I have not done any great exercising since then either. I have got to get back out there! WHY IS IT SO HARD?????

    Yes, I'm starting over from scratch TODAY! I got lazy with exercising and food and quit weighing myself cause I knew it was bad. Forced myself to weigh this morning and I was shocked at the weight gain. So I have reset all of my numbers and I'm getting serious again. Good luck everyone and Happy New Year!

    I sure am! I've screwed up big time. Lost sight of what is so important to me. Need to get back to doing me!!!

    Today is my day to start over. That may have to become my morning mantra..."today is my day" "Today is my day". My plan is to lose 50 lbs. (I could stand to lose 100) But I'm going to split it into 5 mini goals of 10 lbs each.

    I've logged my food today and it's not very pretty ---all things considered I'm going to be happy that I've taken that much of a step today.

    Add me to the list! I maintained from March until Thanksgiving. Since then, I've probably added 4-5 lbs. First of the year, it's coming off!

    Yep, I'm starting again too.

    Started losing weight in January 2011 at 339, and lost down to bout 245 in March 2012, and then am now back up to 308 :(

    It can only get better from here!

    Finishing off rather than start over, need to get back on it though and lose a little then maintain.

    Good luck all with your goals.

    I definately am starting over and going to go at it HARD!! I have been VERY bad and it's time to stop!
    I am SO with you AmandaVictori - I feel the same way. In reality I have about 40 pounds to loose - I wonder everyday - how did I let it get this far out of hand?!?! Not only the weight so many other things - even though there is more of my physically I feel like I have disappeared. Watch out because I am coming back!!

    Good luck to all of you who are also starting over or continuing on your journey!

    Happy New Year!

    I'm not starting over..I'm taking it to the next level. 2012 was a decent year, and 2013 is shaping up to be bigger and better.

    I was going to start over in the new year, and then decided WHY WAIT? Three days of exercise under my belt already. Tonight's celebrations will be easier knowing I've already hit the gym.

    I too am starting over. I have gained back the 10 lbs I lost. I cooked lots for the holidays and enjoyed eating all the wrong things. They opened a new Krispy Kreme in our area and I love those things. I had found lots of good recipes and really enjoyed eating and cooking them. My will power waned about October and it was all down hill from there. My husband has been really supportive and I even went to see a fitness/md. She was awesome. I was so encouraged and lost 10 lbs in a month. Did not have much luck losing after that. I have Lupus and sometimes the exercise of walking makes me hurt afterward. I need lots of encouragement to keep going on this. Best of luck to everyone in the New Year!

    I too am starting over tomorrow. I've only lost 9 pounds the entire year... I need to lose 4 times that in 2013. Starting my 1200 calorie a day & exercise 3-4 times a week again. Good luck to everyone!

    I seem to always start over. Thank God every day is a new day. I plan to diet one day at a time, that is how I live and if I mess up one day the next day is a new day, go again. Good Luck to all!! Happy New
    Year.

    I've had it with my current life style. I've tried to change so many times and ended up reverting back my old ways. This time around though I'm determined. I can't continue to let myself gain weight at the pace I have and I need to change my lift. 13 is my lucky number so I really feel like 2013 is the year for me to just finally do it and never look back. Feel free to add me!

    Heck yessss!!! I just dropped Weight Watchers and am going to go full force with this! Downloaded the app and am excited to get back to myself! I have worked out in over a year... annnnnd don't worry I eat as if I am 21 when i am not! lol

    BTW - I am about 30 lbs heavier ( and gaining) than my profile pic - I just wanted to encourage myself to get back to where I was... you know?

    When I have a minute I promise to post some more current pictures because I think it is also motivating to compare the before and afters... :-)

    I am resetting myself up in myfitnesspal and as I am turning 60 this year, I am going to make better use of the gym I am paying for here at work. I see that they have workout monitors that hook up to fitness pal has anyone tried any of them and know which one is good to use. I will be doing treadmill, free weights and machine weights, both cardio and strengthing. :heart:

    I too am starting over. I wasn't as committed in 2012 as I needed to be so my progress was almost non-existent. I'd lose a couple pounds then gain 1 back. And so it went ...on and on...so at the end of 2012 I was down a total of 4 pounds. 2013 is the year I am going to release all my excess weight and I am excited to get started! Let's make 2013 the year we achieve our health goals!
