Restarting!

I've been an on and off member. There was a period of about 5 months where I didn't come online at all, and, understandably, lost some really supportive friends!

After getting on the scale yesterday to find out I was 16 lbs heavier than when I had initially started MFP, I decided (again) that it was time to take care of myself.

I had initially stopped thanks to shin splints, which then turned into... which turned into... The only other valid reason I had was pneumonia! But now that's cleared up and I have no more excuses. Time to get back on track.

I'd love for some new encouraging friends! I live on this site when I'm not making excuses (Which I'm done with!), so you can also count on me to cheer you on!

    Feel Free to add me. My wife and I have been juicing sense December and we have both lost weight. We are currently working out to T-25 and starting to train for a few 5K's this year and a couple obstacle course runs. Hope to inspire anyone we can.

    Thanks! Has juicing been working well for you? Any time I've tried liquid-based diets I've always been so hungry!

    Wow, I'm restarting today too! I think I'm right back to where I started :( Anyway, I could use a new friend, and I will be a supportive friend too.

    I'm restarting too. On my 3rd week back. In 2012, I lost 35 lbs and felt awesome! I then went on vacation, started a new job, and got heavy into school and let it slip. I only logged off and on last year. And when I weighed 3 weeks ago, I was within 10 lbs of my original starting weight :(

    So, here I am, back on the horse! feel free to add me if you like!

    Hello! I am looking for more support too. I have a friend at work that is on here with me but I need more! I am trying to get this last 15 lbs of baby weigh off by May 2nd (one year birthday) and it is so hard!! I have 3 boys, and my little girl is the youngest, and my husband. You would think that I would be running this weight off but its the opposite! It seems like I want to eat with them and eat what they eat.

    Request sent! :)

    Anyone else can add me as well that is active and regularly will interact with their friends. I have a lot of friends, but not all of them are active or interact... about to do some purging!

    Feel free to add me. I've had to restart many times myself, so I know how it is.
