Done it before. Lost over 70 lbs. Then guess what happened? That's right gained it all back. Starting again, just took starting measurements and I must say I am embarrassed with myself. I want this for me. For better health and longer life. The longer life for my new 7 month old son that I would love to see grow up. It' s time to win this weight battle once and for all. Would appreciate any help and support I could get from anyone. Would be more than glad to give the same back in return. Thanks and best wishes.

    I know what you are going through. I have lost weight so many times, and then gained it all back..WITH a few extra friends added with them..LOL. I am currently trying to lose the weight now, and I am down almost 60 lbs. This time though I am learning how to eat along the way. Finding the right replacements for the fast foods, and all the other great tasting snacks I loved so much. Stay encouraged and remember "A man's greatest glory doesn't consist in never falling, but in rising every time he falls."

    You can do it- especially with MFP. Tracking your activities and your meals and getting help and inspiration from other members will go a long way. I, too, have gained and lost many times.

    You can do it! Remember this is not just to lose weight and reach a number, this time it's to change your lifestyle so that you can stay at a low healthy weight and not regain the weight back! You can do it! We are all here for you!

    I've been where you are at at least three times before and this time something has changed inside of my head and this time it's about the rest of my life changing, not just the number on the scale.
