starting back

I've been on here for a few yrs, lost weight and stopped doing it. Back again with nasty weight gain. I blame the cold, wet, depressing winter. Don't know what happened, but now that spring has sprung, I suddenly realized I can't fit into any of my clothes. I knew I was gaining weight and avoided the scale. Wore yoga pants and scrubs all winter. I think next winter I'm going to ban yoga pants. They allow you to gain weight and never realize exactly how much. Anyhow, looking for some fitness pals, motivators, and someone to keep me encouraged.
