I'm back again. April 2012 I started my weight loss journey starting at 265. Over a year or so with the help of a trainer I was down to 175. Somewhere between my first year of nursing school and planning a wedding/getting married I'm weighing in today at 225. This time my goal is to lose the weight in a way I can maintain the rest of my life so this doesn't happen again.

    Good luck, you can do this. I'm feeling the same way. Need a rest of my life change not a diet.

    I am with you! I was so good from Jan-May 2013. Then softball started and then cheer. I was so busy with my kids, I forgot to make time for myself. I was loving going to the gym, I even have a year membership paid off...and I wasted a good 6 months of it :( I am so angry at myself.

    I did the same, bought a membership that I pay for monthly and have used three times in the last 9 months. I want to restart healthy choices and hopefully add in some exercise :)

    Welcome back and good luck! That was my strategy this time around. Now that I'm in maintenance, I'm eating the same way I was before, only with a higher calorie allowance. Lost the weight slowly, aiming for a half-pound per week (average was closer to three-quarters). Am hoping to drop my "lifelong yo-yo" status through sustainable practices. So far, so good.

    Wow, you did great, and it's great that you are coming back with determination. I need good role models, I'm just starting again myself.

    I just put back on 14 kg of the 20 that I'd lost :(

    Looking to lose it again and keep it off this time.
