I am committing my self to a weight loss again for the last time. To be honest I lost 35 to 40 pounds once signing on in 2011 but gained it all back when I hurt my leg and had to sit around and order out. I have been working out but I think my portions are to big. I have taken off 13 pounds last month but now I am stuck and have to readjust my workouts and eating so I am back and want to be more social in the process. If I can not get it going this time I am going to go in for some type of surgery.....sorry I am just so tired and over this. So I will be needing support and connecting with you guys.

    May I just say that I was in a similar situation to you, except that I had a liver transplant and put on vast amounts of weight. I wanted to have surgery but was refused on health grounds. MFP has been the best thing that has happened , I log my food and I exercise. I have made lots of friends all in the same boat, and I lost 10lbs in my first week.
    You too can do it, get some friends on here to support you and get stuck in
    All the best

    Thanks for the positive words I am going to try again and I must log everything so I can figure out were the weight is coming from or in this case why it is not going. On a side note the weird thing is I have lost 13 pounds but my measurements have stayed the same.....what gives?

    I too am needing support. I have had success on MFP before and went through losing my father and father in law all in 3 months time period and let emotions control my lifestyle. Now it is time to get back to doing what I need to do. Stress has put every bit of my weight back on plus some. I am sending you a FR and anyone else who wants motivation and encouragement and can also give it to me, please FR me.
