    Yep! Hate that I had to start buying bigger sizes again. I threw out the old clothes saying "I don't want this to fit ever again". Ooops! FR sent.

    I am looking for friends to help motivate me also. I have gained 40 pounds in 2 years and have decided today is the day to make a much needed change. I am tired of feeling tired, slow, out of shape and none of my clothes fit! The time is now!

    Me too. I lost the weight far too quickly last time. This time around Im doing it at a slow steady pace and cutting way down on my alcohol consumption.

    I'll add you as a friend.

    I just recently this year lost 22 lbs got down to 113. I am 5' 0 s you can imagine what a little weight can do. Kind of the same thing started eating more meals out like lunch with friends and now I have added on the lbs. Plus stopped exercising like I was doing. Just ordered insanity this is my second day it kicks my butt. Wanting to not only lose weight but also tone. Wanting to eventually add some pilates. I am a recently divorced mother of 5 children. Divorce lost the weight at first now that I found some happiness going out again put on weight just trying to find time to fit back in the exercise along with everything else. Then hopefully will reach my healthy weight goal again and this time find a way to change my diet plus get in exercise.

    Honestly I need to stop eating out so much with friends it will save me money and the weight will go away it is hard to find healty options at places that they choose like Penn Station, etc.

    I did the same thing. Lost 20 lbs over the summer and then got sick and moved to a new country and gained half of it back. It is the second time I've lost over 20 and gained some or all back, but now I'm finally in a place to focus on ME and not deal with fast food every day (from my job) or my family stress.

    <~~~~ feel your pain. I did the same thing. Odd though I lost 22 pounds but NO FREAKING INCHES during a sugar detox (how is that possible?) and then after it was over, put back on all but 9 of it, but am still the same size......... GRRR.

    Everyone is welcome to add me. I have lost weight and gained it all back over the course of maybe 4 years and now looking to lose it all again. I have been doing some "soul searching" so this is actually my first full day back since before christmas but I am in it to win it. I dont have a deadline as to when I want to reach my goal, I just want to lose it all. for the second time but for good.

    Thank you for all the wonderful, supportive messages! They could not have come at a better time! I'm not sure how my thread was picked up again, my original post was 10 days ago. My last week has been quite a bad one in terms of self-control and motivation. This was just what I needed to hear. After I post this I'm hopping on the treadmill!

    I'm in the same boat. I refuse to buy bigger clothes. Time to get real and get back on track. Send me a friend request if interested.

    I'm starting over again because I can be good for a couple of weeks but then stop tracking and either gain or stop losing weight. So anyone feel free to add me because I am looking for some buddies too.

    You sound just like me. I did really well in 2011 and fell of the wagon BIG time. I have decided this is it I have to get control of myself. Good luck we can do this together.

    Lost 16 pounds and 3 inches off my waist last Spring, and recently gained back 12 and all the inches after I got a new full-time job in the midst of my weight loss journey :cry: It was not easy being surrounded by booze and junk food 'til 2 in the morning at work, which I recently quit. Never again!

    Sorry to hear that. Start again tomorrow. It happens to all of us, especially during the holiday we tend to go crazy. You can add me if you want. Don't give up! You can do this!
