Getting Back To Where You Were???

I have gained and lost over 70 lbs. 3 different times in my life going all the way back to when I was in the 5th grade but most recently have lost significantly more and this time I have a really good feeling it will be the last time.... Best of Luck... It can be done, just takes hard work....:drinker:

A year and a half ago, I lost 30lbs. It was only about half of what I needed to lose, but I was so proud of myself and actually kept it off for a year! But then I moved out on my own, stopped working out, started eating like crap... needless to say, four months later and I'd put 22 of those 30lbs right back on. I was *so* mad at myself. But I got back on the wagon, learned to change my lifestyle habits all over again - and I think it's been far healthier for me, because before I definitely was not eating enough to sustain the weight loss for long term. I'm now seven pounds away from my lowest weight after that 30lbs loss, and am fully planning to go all the way with it this time and getting down to my goal weight! I actually think I needed to know what it felt like to backslide like that, to see how much it upset me mentally and to learn what it was like to redo so much of that work. Now I know I'll NEVER let myself do that again!

i lost 35lbs a couple years back and i've recently put 25 of them back on. so i'm trying to figure out a long term way to lose them and keep them off. no more quick fixes...

I yo-yoed for years. Most recently I lost 71 pounds and put @10 back on just in the past month because of binge eating.

Now I am working on getting a handle on the binges and being slightly more active (I already work out a lot). Nothing is linear, and weight loss and maintenance is a long learning process. Best of luck.
