New to the Boards!

Options
Hello,
I'm not new to MFP and have been reading the boards but never had the courage to actually say anything. That is changing today and I hope to find some friends to motivate and encourage each other through our personal journeys. Last year I lost about 50 lbs. At my heaviest I was 200 lbs. My lowest weight was 146 lbs – today, I am 180 lbs – in the near future, I will be at 150 lbs, but I need your help!
I am ashamed and embarrassed that I gained back the weight I lost. I can no longer fit into my new clothes and am back to wearing my pre-weight-loss clothes. I'm incredibly disappointed in myself and need help picking myself back up.
