Lost it all, then gained again

Oh YES......I lost 70 lbs...gained back 70 lbs. Kept it off for 4 years. Gained it back during the happiest years of my life. ?? Don't know why, and now I can't get back on track

sorry you gained but you can't over eat and expect to not gain weight. 134 isn't bad Im around 145 maybe more I don't really use the scale because I want to see if I can not fixiate my focus so much on numbers. I want to be strong and healthy and thus happy. Uh i bet it was nice to be 107 I mean if your not strength training its not going to help with much….you can do cardio only but you will always need to do more of the cardio ifu want to lose and keep off…and depriving yourself probably didn't help-i bet you didn't get their of 1,500 calorie diet…unless your short….i mean at least 1,300 but thats really pushing things. Based on TDEE anyways the more your active the more you should allow yourself to eat so now your body is in hyper drive to get sustenance…your not a troller are you??btw

you are catching it early!

You may think that you were not overeating but its obvious that if you stop working out your calorie your daily needs would be less than before plus non healthy foods have a lot more calories and sugars than healthy ones

Hi, I hate to say this, but I think your calories are too low.
That is something I rarely say as I too am 5'1 and know that us short lightweights have a hard time loosing with the 1200 min calorie intake.
About 4-5 years ago I was 128-130 and worked towards a weekly total of 8400 cal, (rarely ate that much but tried) it took close to a year but I got down to the 102lb that I wanted to be and have maintained it with an allowed 5 lb slide since then. I have kept my weight for so long between 102 & 106 that I can't remember exactly how many years it has been.
All that was said to encourage you to up your calories by 100-150 a day and try to get in about 45-60 min exercise a day to help burn the extra calories and reshape your body.
I do aqua fit 3 x week at 193 cal and then weights or Pilates 2 x week.

My avatar is my after pic but there is a before on my page if you want to see the change.

Keep up the calorie counting and add back the exercise. You can do it again.
Cheers, h.

Three times for me also. Lost about 45 pounds--gained back with tax included. Lost 100ish--gained back with tax included. Lost 120--gained all that back. This time I'm determined that it will be different because I'm not "dieting" like before. First time I limited my calories to 1200 a day. Second time I ate ONLY fruits and vegetables for 13 months--not even dressing on my salad. Third time I started on a strict diet called rotation diet where you change up you intake from as low as 600 a day to as high as 1800 a day. Lost very good on that but on my 600 calorie days I had ton's of diet coke to cover the hunger pains. Then I switched to the Adkins diet at the end and just spun my wheels for several months. This time I'm trying to limit myself to 1800 calories but added exercise. I'm totally increasing my water intake from a cup or 2 a day to 12 cups a day. I'm avoiding all artificial sweeteners and with the exception of my cottage cheese, I get full fat version of everything including my milk. I'm really focusing on trying to get my potassium, calcium, and protein quota for the day and just by doing that I am forced to make really healthy food choices--no room for chips nor desserts.

Welcome back! My weight has been bouncing around.
