in Motivation and Support
Hey all! I joined MFP years ago and managed to go from 180 to 128 pounds. I was maintaining between 128-130 for a couple of years. Recently, I have crept back up to 141 :( not happy. I eat mostly fruits and veggies and hit the gym doing a mix of cardio and strength training at least 5-6 times a week.

However, I have not been so great at logging my food like I used to. I would love some people that would hold me accountable to that!! I need your help!! I remember how awful I felt at 180 and I never want to go back there. Thank you in advance for any support and encouragement!

    WOW 180-128 is awesome!!!!! I would love to be able to say that!
    What is the average for your size? Is 128# a healthy weight for you? I know we all like to see the lower numbers but maybe this gain is your body telling you hold on a sec I am not healthy. Did you gain muscle? that could be a factor.
    Definately is important to log your food. Helps keep you accountable to yourself. Set reminders for your phone. This is what I had to do or I would forget.
    Again congrats on the loss! Hope you can figure out what you did the go up again. You did it once you can do again!

    I know how you feel - I am in the same boat. Just know that you've done this before and you can do it again! You got this! :smiley: I can help keep you motivated as I'm also looking for some accountability. Let's do this - whatever the goal!!
