Hi there! I'm putting this post up because I need your help! If you are someone who actually checks in with friends, sends encouraging boosts when needed, and are just looking to help someone out in general - and are looking for the same in return, please take a second to add me as a friend.

I just weighed myself today for the first time in a long time and discovered I've gained all but 1 measly pound back of all the weight I've lost over the last 2 years.... IT'S ALL BACK!!! I can't believe I let myself get back to this size. I'm lost and defeated. I need your help! I hope you'll add me!

    Oh I've been there a few times - Up, down and back up again. I reached the point of no turning back yesterday. I am 255lbs, and have difficulty tieing my shoes! I was 190 lbs. when I met my wife 11 years ago. I can tell you that there is hope for us. My neighbor dropped 80 pounds by loggin his food in MyFitnessPal every day for 280 days! We can do that! Let's go for it!

    You have the advantage because youve done it before. Just get in the routine.

    Part of your plan must include what you do to maintain.

    I'm closer to my goal weight than my starting weight, but always looking for accountability buddies! :-)

    I think most of us have had the same realization that we just put back on the pounds we lost. Let it motivate you to get started, but you are going to need dedication to keep going. I'm here with you. I have just about the same amount to lose. I'll send a friend request.
