Hello..again

Hi everyone, I was a very active member of mfp a year ago...I had lost around 20lbs and felt great. And then one day I woke up and through it all out the door. Now I have gained it all back + some, and feel pretty awful about it...But I want to do this for real, the right way. For my family and for myself. Looking for motivation and some friends to help keep me accountable!!

I am a stay at home mother of a 3 1/2 year old and I own and operate a home child care :) SO it's nice to meet you all and I look forward to starting this journey AGAIN with mfp.

Love, Manda

    Hello, I'm also back again for a month now. I lost 20lbs for my HS reunion 3 years ago. When I got back home most of it went back on. I'm now on diabetes medication and my doctor is waving cholesterol meds in my face. I even let my muscle tone go so the clothes that fit me last summer didn't this year. I losing the weight this time for ME and my health.

    You are never alone here and that's what's so great about this site. Welcome back :happy:
  • Hello I just started my diet 2 weeks ago and decided to log it all on here I am very excited to start getting this weight off
