in Introduce Yourself
i'm now taking this seriously, recently turned 43 and after having lost 50lbs last year and then gaining back 15lbs I am now no longer in denial that I can't have it all without sacrifice. I must continue healthy eating and exercise to continue my weight loss and to ultimately maintain my goal. I think I tend to get cocky once my goal is met and then I introduce bad habits that set me back. My goal is to get to 165 or under and maintain it, so it's no longer a struggle. I'm 43 now and I understand that it's GO time...not GO BACK time.

    Years ago I lost a bunch of weight and slowly gained it all back. Now I just lost 42 pounds in the last 4 months and I feel GREAT. MFP makes "maintenance" so easy. I'm adjusted my calorie goals, and it's so much easier than when I was trying to lose at a big deficit. I work out almost every day. When I was losing I didn't eat back any of those calories but now I can. I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing and am very confident that I'll never gain the weight back again.

    I know once you set your mind to something, you'll do it! Don't beat yourself up over gaining a few back. We both have to work really hard to keep the weight off and we're going to fall off the wagon every once in a while. Focus on what you've accomplished thus far and know that's we're always going to need to work at it. I've gained back 10lbs and without working out, it feels like 20. I'm back on board with eating right and exercising so let's do this together Agnes!!!!
