So back in 2010-11, I went from a pretty flabby 217 down to about 185 using (among other things) MFP and the calorie logging. I felt great. I couldn't seem to get below 185, but I felt good anyway (I'm 5-10) so I didnt worry about it. Slowly but surely, it crept back up as I ignored it, and I didn't come back here till yesterday.
"It has been 20 months since you've logged" blech!
I'm sitting at 220 right now, ready to start this whole thing over again. I remember what it was like to be going in the right direction, and I want that feeling back.

Fall down 7 times, get up 8. You can do it, and the important part is you are back in the game.0

I am right there with you. I just started back up today after being off for a couple months and gaining back all the weight I had lost. If you would like to add me, feel free. I am a firm believer that the more support you have, the better!0

I am also coming back from going off track. I haven't gained all my weight back yet but I've lost and regained 100 pounds. You can get that feeling back, after a few days of eating healthy you will feel so much better. You did it before so you can do it again. Check out www.halfsizeme.com it helps me a lot!0

The hardest part is not losing the weight, but keeping it off
At least you know it know and can start again. Good luck0 -
Good luck Erik. I am pretty much in the same place you are. I dropped down to 170--the lowest since college--using Weight Watchers. I stopped using the plan and the weight packed back on. I have been on again/off agin with MFP and decided this week to get back on again. I am up to 214--3 pounds short of my all time (known) high of 217. I could easily have been higher when I was not caring about what I ate or how much I weighed.0

WELCOME BACK. Last time, I got down to 200 and thought I didnt need MFP anymore. Pretty soon I was 215. Then I got pregnant and ended up back at 235. But I have been back and ready to go since August 1 and I am doing it this time. Add me if you want.0

"Success has been, and continues to be defined as getting up one more time than you've been knocked down."0

I'm back myself, I gained all but about 10 pounds of mine back, and started back a month ago, feeling better about the way it is going, but you just gotta keep at it and stick to it. We are here to support you.0

Good Luck Erik, I'm sure you will be down again before you know it. You already know what it takes to lose, so just do it! Stay strong and consistent. Aim for a life style change so your newly acquired habits stay with you forever0

welcome back.
I did the same two years in a row. I am about 5'7" male. 50 yrs.
Went from about 200-205 down to 175-180 and then gained it all back two years in a row.
This year I am now looking back.
Feel free to friend!0 -
I'm a member of the very same club. I've changed my approach this time (slightly) because I feel it will be more sustainable in the long run. Better to notice now and be doing something about it. Well done for coming back and not letting it get the better of you0
