I failed, I left - I'm back!

I have over 100 lbs to lose. This isn't my first rodeo but I'm going to try like hell to make it my last. I'm looking for friends to offer wisdom and encouragement AND -

friends that are honest and realistic. Look - this isn't easy and I'm not going to pretend that I'll be in a great mood everyday. I'm going to use MFP as an outlet for my good moments and my bad. This is going to be an honest and open journey for me!

    Welcome back. I'm fairly new here but I'd be happy to offer whatever support I can. I also have been on this rollercoaster for many years. I just turned 60 and would like to be 80lb lighter before I retire. Perhaps we can provide mutual support. Good luck.

    I'm back too!
  • I've left and come back to mfp a few times now...I've been trying to add more and more friends on here as far as the community portion goes, I need some accountability. Hopefully I can give some accountability in return:)

    Feel free to add me...

    Failure = never coming back. Most of the world's great successes (people, businesses, etc) started as temporary failures and then bloomed. Never stay down and you're never a true failure.

    Great job getting started again!

    I did so well the last time I was here (about 14 months ago) then fell off the good food wagon for a number of not very good reasons. But now I am back! My husband left yesterday for Afghanistan and I really want to be more fit when he returns in the fall.

    I am looking for encouragement and support and will be happy to give it back! We all need our cheerleaders.

    Feel free to friend me so we can share our getting healthy journey together.

    I'm new here, but I've been dealing with the success and failures of weight loss for a long time. I've got pretty huge goals (180 pounds to lose here) but I'm also pretty realistic so I'm a pretty good listener. Add me if you want a little extra support! :)

    Does anyone know if there is a way to get back to this page without having to search through dozens of previous posts? It would just make things a little easier.

    You sound a lot like me! I have been here before and am ready to stick to it this time. I never really have had any success and I just keep gaining more and more weight. I've sent FR to a bunch of you and if anyone wants me as a friend feel free to add me!
