Okay, I got to my goal weight and stopped logging calories as it is so time consuming! I've only gained 7 lbs but in just a few months! I went on vacation and my boy came home from the Marines so we were chowing down! So, starting tomorrow, I am back to counting calories and logging exercise. Might need some support. I've missed everyone!

    Last year I packed on 7 pounds on 5 day Thanksgiving cruise. It's all just life and this is a life time deal ,not a diet. Welcome back and good luck ! just keep on keeping on !

    Today I'm back and feeling the same way. I definitely let the weight slip back on. I need to see my caloric intake in black and white to get it right! Good luck!

    I have started using MFP a couple of times before and have always quit after a couple of days. It is time consuming keeping track of everything you eat and drink. I decided today that I am going to stick with it this time. That's why I decided to join this group. I am hoping the added support of others doing the same thing will help.

    It is time consuming at first- but then it keeps you honest and shows you how much the little things add up by the end of the day. Log for 2 mos. by then you will have an idea of the # of calories in foods and start to cut-back on your own.

    Hi,
    I lost about 30 pounds (once upon a time) and stopped using this site completely . Unfortunately, i gained every ounce back. :noway: I am back now and more determined than ever. I am REALLY tired of being uncomfortable in my own skin.
