New to the Boards!

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.
