in Introduce Yourself
My name's Nick....and I'm a fatty.

Alright all, I used to be on here but I got lazy and stopped losing weight, long story short I'm now back with a vengeance. Got friends supporting me, and new opportunities on the horizon so I'm really geared up for losing some timber.

That's me anyway,

Cheers.

    preachin to the choir.....lost 32 lbs last winter/spring. Then my buddy got a boat. Spent almost every day off on it, with LOTS of beer. Add a crappy long winter, and I gained all the weight back. So now I'm back too! Good luck and add me if ya want!

    I too keep going back and forth. i do good a few weeks then stop wanting to do anything. I had lost 10 lbs then gained a few back now i want those 10 gone plus about 40 more. I had planned on loosing lbs by Aug, and this was when i joined MFP in march, so far its not working.
    I always logged in everyday, but my food intake would be slack on days, and started good with working out, got some great Biggest Looser DVD's, Did them for about 3 weeks, then stopped. i do still try and walk in my neighborhood, but i just need t kick it in gear!!!

    So anyone feel free to add me and lets work on this, again, together:)

    Ha! I've fell off the wagon, been ran over by the wagon, yet still managed to pick myself up and get back on the wagon. I got really sloppy with my diet and working out during the winter and just started eating whatever I wanted again and totally stopped exercising. Yeah bad idea! At the beginning of May I had gained 22 pounds of the weight back that I had lost. Been back at it (diet anyway) for over 3 weeks now and am down 10 pounds. Still needing to get back into the exercise although with it being summer, I am much more active with the yard work, garden work, pool, etc.

    It happens to most but you'll only succeed if you stop blaming yourself. One of the hardest things to do is get back on the wagon and you've gotten this far so it's time to again be a success. You can do it!

    Fell off for 1 year due to depression from my coworker dying unexpectedly (I'm the one who found him since he didn't show up for work)

    It happens. At least you're back and trying again.

    I'm going to recommend that you lower the wagon so that it is much less likely that you will fall off. Many people fail because they make an unsustainable plan, try for an impossibly high deficit or set up an draconian workout program. Small, sustainable changes are much more likely to take hold and become habits.

    I am in the same boat/wagon. lol. I stopped going to the gym, for what reason? Who the hell knows!!! Just didnt' want to get up and go. I stopped eating correctly as well and have gained back 28 lbs!!! I went into the gym yesterday and signed back up on a month to month and started this morning!! I did not work this hard to gain it back a little at a time. I am in this with you. We can do it!!!!

    Looks like they to put seat belts in the wagon, looking back I last posted in April, before that I was going good then I could add all the excuses possible but bottom line I got lazy and less disciplined in coming here and logging my food to keep me accountable.. Add my name to the wall of shame
