    Hello I also have about 60 lbs to lose. I went from 250 and now I'm 207 for the last month I've gained and lost the same 3 lbs. wanting to get around 150. Hoping to get there by the end of this year.

    I've been a size 5-7 since high school through my first three kids
    after the fourth one I went up to a size 24w ... and teetered back and forth for years ...

    Now the fourth one is 31! Opps ... where DID those years go? Well, no more excuses just getting into shape slow but sure and staying there this time. I want to enjoy the rest of my life as fit as possible.

    I do have a few tricks that have made this journey from 24w to 14 (heading for an 8 or 10 and either one will be just fine).
    The real biggie is ... no more elastic waists and get in the 'next size down' asap and GET rid of the size up. That is a matter of psychology, economics and reality. You LOVE to earn the next size down, without the size to grow back into you have to be able to justify the $$$, and reality is that without elastic bands you KNOW when you are going up and cant get to far off the wagon without your waist letting you know you where you are.

    ThanX

    I'm at a range of 200-210 (my weight fluctuates like no other...so I tend to think of myself in ranges of 5-10lbs) and I want to get down to 160.

    I've lost 5-10lbs since I started, but I'd like to actually get down to my goal and feel like stairs aren't so hard! I'm with you!

    Hey im IN!! i went from 196lbs to 160lbs and now im back to 176lbs! lets get it done w=once and for all !
  • I too have been on this yo yo...I am at the heaviest I've ever been and now thinking of Bariatric Surgery but first I am taking nutritional classes and seeing just how much I can do on my own first. 4 weeks ago I weighed in at 232 doing my monthly weigh in tomorrow. I have done alot of other "diets" now just watching calories/fat/carbs/protein and doing it realistically with the foods I like but watching portion control. I have found that this site really makes me realize how much I was over eating and the wrong foods I was eating. So I would love to join you in your slimming experience and maybe we can learn from each other! Best luck to everyone thats been there done that and still won't give up!

    Same boat! Went from 230 last year to 210 back to 216 again, ugh! I need to take this seriously! I only halfheartedly tried mfp before, but this time it just needs to get done! I will add you, anyone can add me too:drinker: :drinker:

    I know folks who have had bariatric surgery and 1) have to religiously monitor their supplements, 2) eat several small meals a day with a lot of other 'shoulds' like nothing with bubbles (soda) etc and yet over a period of years manage to gain back a lot of the weight and STILL need the supplements and 'shoulds'. I realize where sometimes there are medical issues that benefit from bariatric surgery so I am so not against it.

    I do think for the most part though I think the best two things we can do is - push away from the table and get off the couch. Once we get where we want to go keep doing what we were doing so we don't get back where we've been.

    If I'd have to take supplements, watch what I'm eating, and all the rest of it ... I figure I can do that without adding another scar to the body, and put my want to into gear and keep it motivated for life even if the insurance company would pay for it.

    60 is basically what I need to lose. I get very motivated for a few days, and then it fizzles. Maybe checking in with others will help me out.
  • I've done the same thing over and over again. Don't beat yourself up. At least you haven't given up! Congrats on that weight loss, I think it's awesome!:flowerforyou:

    I feel your pain. I've done the same thing. Too many life changes at once turns to stress eating. I need to reset the mindset. :(
