    So how did you lose it and why do you think led to you gaining the weight back? Were you on a diet program? Did you exercise to help lose then quit all together? What other influences led this to happening?

    I ask because you could do the same again, but still not have the problem identified.

    I gained it back because I had a change of career, go lazy, and reverted to old habits.

    I was 1# from my goal weight and then gained back 14#. Slowly losing it again and wondering what I should change to keep it off. So frustrating!!

    Well if you want to lose it my suggestion is to add alot of friends and constantly be active in this site. Posting, replying to messages in your groups you join and staying focused on your goal. Dont let temptation get the best of you.

    I plan to be an active participant on this site to stay motivated and goal oriented and at the gym daily. I am trying to make it a habit. Watch my portions and enjoy doing it rather than forcing myself to hard too fast.

    Hi Robin! Welcome back :) I'll send a request bc I know what you're going through. I have gained a few back and desperately trying to lose it and continue on to my goal.
    Anyone who is motivated and supportive feel free to add me, too. I try to be that way for my MFPs in return.

    It is my first time really trying to loose weight. How did you guys gain it back? That is a bit worrisome, since you obviously know what and how much you could eat (otherwise you could not have lost it in the first place).

    You gain it back by giving up, getting lazy, resorting back to bad habits in seek of comfort. Weight loss for me has not ever been easy because I in particular am a comfort eater. When I am sad, lonely, or bored I eat. Breaking a life long habit like that aint easy. Though if you are properly motivated and educated is possible.

    To prevent going back to your old weight CBT works for some - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
