Back in 2009 I lost a total of 63 pounds, going from 242 down to 179 and it felt absolutely great! For some reason, I always seem to hit a wall at 179, bouncing back up a few pounds once I get there. Over the course of 2010 and so far in 2011 I have been up and down in weight, but the general trend is unfortunately UP, and I am back in the 190's now (scared to weight myself for an exact number!).

Anyway, I think that if I work hard on it for the months of April and May, I can get back to where I was by the beginning of June and start the summer off right.

So, this is me officially re-committing to my healthy-living and weight-loss plan! I'm ready!

    Good for you!! The same thing happened to me. I lost 163lbs and reached my goal weight. I was happy and thought I could go back to my old eating habits. Wrong! Now I am up 22lbs from goal and I am struggling to lose it. But I know we can do this!!

    I'm in the same boat as you, i lost 40 lbs from 2008-2009 and have gained half of that back over the past 2 years .. I'm hoping to get back to where I was 2 years ago at this time.. I need to lose this weight once and for all!! Good luck to you!
