Thank you for sharing. I started to gain weight after my 1st child & continued to gain. Then 2010 I finally decided to do something with the love & support of family members. When I got back to my original weight when I got married 74kg 2011 I was happy again, then I gave up smoking & lost my way into food again 2013 Im back to where I was and more 110kg. Add me if you like I would to support you and we can get back to where we need to be. Best of luck! x0

Your story is amazing. You are a very courageous lady to be so honest. I am only at the start of my own journey, but want to say "well done" and wish you well for yours. You have done this once, so you will do it again!0

I've felt like a failure after losing 37lbs and gaining back 15. I tell myself I am human and it happens, but that doesnt make me feel any better! Thank you fo sharing your story and I wish you the best of luck on your journey (:0

congrats on the lil man. I too have literally lost and gained back 100 plus pounds, not once but TWICE that's right literally TWICE. Talk about feeling embarrassed. Now I am working on it again. In addition i have lost smaller amounts several times as well. the moral of the story is just keep trying. I know,for me, if I'm not trying I'm gaining. It sucks but it is a fact. So keep up the very hard work and enjoy the improvements and you will be successful. :flowerforyou:0

Thanks for sharing you'r story, wow, you've done this once...I'm almost sure you will do it again!!! wishing you all the best0

Congratulations on your loss and your determination to do it again.
Research suggests that those most likely to keep weight off are those who actively try to. Our bodies want us to stay the weight they are used to being until our new weight becomes the norm, which, research suggests, takes SIX years! Don't feel bad for doing what was natural, just be ready to do things a bit differently this time.

Wow. What a story. At least what you have done in the past proves that you are capable of doing this again!0
-
I know you can do it! Don't add to your own burdens by chastising yourself about gaining some back; focus on moving forward!
Be kind to yourself! :flowerforyou: Your family loves you and needs you and I"m sure you can do it!0 -
And not JUST for Jackson...for YOU, because YOU deserve it. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Sending you a friend request now, because I can't wait to cheer you on at every pound lost (and even in between).0

i don't understand why we do this, i myself have lost and gained back thousands of lbs. in the 30 years of dieting. i only can hope that i to can stay on track and make this a life long commitment to my health. keep on trying i know i am, but it is hard, taking one day off makes me fear that i will slide back into bad habits,0
