in Getting Started
Hello All,

My name is Michelle. In 2009, I joined MFP. In 10 months, I went from 291 lbs to 189 lbs. A size 24 pants ( yes I wear the weight very well) down to a size 10!

I was so completely thrilled with myself...

And then I met my husband. I fully blame him for this lol. Okay, not really but since I met him in September 2010 - I have gained back every single pound. I weighed in today at 291!

291 !

291 !!! You've got to be kidding me. 4 years of fast food, date nights and having a baby

I've gained every single pound back!

Every one of them!

I'm disgusted with myself -

BUT - I did it before right? So that means that I can do it again?

Yes, I can.

So - who wants to add me - I really need some support getting started!

    Hey don't feel disgusted! I also gained a lot when I started a relationship. He thought I ate as much as him, and I always tried to finish off my plate :)

    You can totally do it again! Good for you!

    We've got a lot in come -- my name is Michelle and I'm starting over again too! And I have about 100 to lose. Have gained and lost the same 60 lbs at least 3x in the past 10 years. You are absolutely right if we did it before we can definitely do it again!
