    well done on the original weight loss! I'm trying to get back on the wagon every day at the moment but really struggling by the time evening comes around...all good intentions in the morning and then just want to collapse on my sofa and eat biscuits!

    feel free to add me and we can all help each other do this for the final time!

    This is me! I lost 50 pounds a couple of years ago. This past year because of some medicine and other life factors gained 40 of it back. Wish I would have been able to stop the gain earlier but I was in denial. Oh well. Back on the train for good!

    Me me me. Please add a note about this thread "Second time weight loss!" or something if you add me.

    In high school I dropped 50 lbs. Gained 40. Dropped 10. Gained 20, and so on. My thinnest/fittest times were senior year of high school, sophomore year of college, senior year of college, second year of grad school... yo-yo! This is my first time reaaaaally using MFP, though, and I've had an easy time of it. In the past, to drop all of the weight, I was probably eating 1,000-1,200 and working out 30 mins 5-6 times a week. the weight fell off but the deficit was too great and I burned out maintaining.

    Weight loss and I are constant companions. Had weight loss surgery in 1995 and gained almost everything back. Started again using my "tool" October 25, 2009 and it's been slowly coming off ever since. Yes, I've hit a few snags along the way, but the huge difference is that this is *not* a diet. It's a WOL. And you *don't* give up on life, or you die. Eh, works for me, anyway. :P Feel free to add this tortoise.

    I lost 25 pounds a couple years back on MFP...got pregnant...lost the baby at 15 weeks...gained even more back.

    Started back on MFP in January - since then I've lost 36 pounds.

    It's TOO easy to lose track...especially because there's so many ups and downs in life!

    Always looking for new friends to help keep me on track and motivated!!

    You can add me. I'm 5ft 8 and five years ago I weighed 175lbs. I lost 33 pounds in two months. I have since eased up on my eating regime and have gained 15 pounds. I started exercise in earnest on Monday weighing 157lbs aiming to tone up and get down to 140lbs ish :)

    I went from 180lbs-128lbs in high school, I was able to maintain that for about 6 years! The last couple years for various reasons/excuses I've been stuck at 145lbs-150lbs. I'm still glad I kept off 30lbs but I'd like to be in the 130's again. Of course, I am pregnant so I am going to gain more and the journey will be even more difficult. Feel free to add :3!

    After high school I gained about 60, then I lost about 70, then gained back 55. Now I'm down 14 of that again, looking to go a lot farther than that!

    I lost 40 or so via the older Atkins program 4 years ago , it creapt back because Atkins did nothing to change my habits per se. and once i reached goal weight i started back on things when on vacation and never went back. I gained more quitting smoking.... I ended up heavier than I started the last time. I'm now just shy of losing 40 (again) with another 15-20 to go. This time I will develop a maintenance plan and track weight. I may not log as seriously as i do now on maintenance but if I see the scales creeping up I'll be back on a deficit plan until it's fixed. That seems to be the long term issue for everyone who regains

    i was in top health years ago, then I ate more and more. I tried to lose weight...again and again but I "gave up" and started to eat again. I went to my doctor and he was upset... This time, I will do it for my health and happiness. So far I've lost 18 pounds in 29 days. Sounds ridiculous but I have a nutritionist following me, a trainer at the gym, and I walk all over now...5-7 miles a day. I would love to have some friends to back me up and vice verse'. I still have at least 56 pounds to go. I'm logging everything to eat now and I also have a Smart-band to help!!! :smile:
