edited February 10 in Introduce Yourself
I've been a member for a little over a year, but was only active for a few months - if that. I only lost about 10ish, I now weigh 15 pounds more than I did when I started. I knew my pants were getting tight, but was in denial I guess, lol. I'm a teacher, and over the two week break I managed to gain enough to where I can hardly button them. Worst feeling ever!!!!! I seriously had to pull out my Bella Band, an elastic band to keep your buttons and zipper together, from when I was pregnant so that I could even wear one pair of pants.

So, I'm back at it. Luckily my friends didn't delete me, lol.

Good luck to us all!

    Welcome back! I'm trying again too. If I remember correctly the last time I was active I lost 5 pounds, but now I'm up another 15. Good luck to you on your journey!

    Hi I am new here and know just how you feel. I lost 23lbs in 2012 and now am up 20lbs. I decided to try MYP and have been here since Jan 1 this year. the support is great. Just talking to people with the same problems as me and knowing I am not alone is a good feeling. So if you want another friend add me and we can chat sometime :smile:
