    I'm also starting again! I've used myfitnesspal with some success intermittently over the past few years, but now its time to stick with it. If anyone is a college student or young professional I'd love for us to support each other.

    Good luck to you ffwife921 and to you all. Here I am again starting off the new year losing weight that I lost the previous year. I wish I could keep it off as effectively as I lose it.

    ^^ Yes. This is me. Exactly. ^^

    Definitely could use the help & motivation! I am good at starting out but get side tracked easily. Have used my fitnesspal for a couple of years but get discouraged when I have a bad day. I have never used the blogs/message boards before so 2015 i am going to give it a try. Hopefully it will be the motivation I need to keep on track.

    It feels so cliche to say I want to lose weight this year but I am in the same boat! I was finally on the losing end a few months ago and have completely lost control. But this year is my year and yours too!

    I'm right there with you. Trying to start loosing again, this time trying to take baby steps that are easier to stick to (hopefully). My main goal isn't the weight anymore, I just want to get in shape and live a healthier lifestyle. Anyone can feel free to add me!!

    This is the first thread I clicked since signing back on to MFP after taking the last two months off. I am back and I plan to log every.single.day!!! I will be 49 this year and I am NOT going to turn 50 and still be fat.

    Please feel free to add me and let's do this thing!! :D

    I am starting over again as well. in 2011 I lost nearly 80lbs and have gained it all back...new jobs new stresses and new excuses. Hoping to put those behind and get back on the wagon. Last week I was exactly what i was at when I started in 2011 this week I am down 3 lbs and hoping to keep that going! would love some new friends and new motivation!

    I'm starting over as well (for the thousandth time but I'm going to make it my last time!). I deleted all previous entries for weight/measurements as well as my FitBit entries. I wanted a clean slate starting today. I know it's super cliche to start on New Years day but I'm off for 4 days from work so I figured this would be the best time. I'm charging my FitBit One (it's been dead for at least a month...oops). I'm getting married in September and have always been on the heavy side since high school. I just want to be healthy & happy and have the wedding of my dreams this fall!

    Glad so many people are looking for support. I've come to realize that when your losing weight your going to screw up. If I can tell my kids no I should be able to do the same when it comes to food!!!

    So nice to know so many people are in the same boat...up and down here. lost 60 gained back 20...good news is I quit smoking, but that's just an excuse. I did get lazy and used the holiday season as an excuse. I have at least 50 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me too!

    This is my 'starting over' point, too. We can do this, though! Support is the key.

    I am with you....I too am starting over!! It is so frustrating to just continually lose the same weight over and over again. Here is to a most wonderful and successful year for all of us!!

    congratulations for starting again. i started over aug 15 2014 and today I am down 25.4 lbs from that restart. I am happy to support you and get support in return. I have a long way to go but I am excited to continue my weight loss journey on mfp in 2015
    Good luck to you

    Wow! There are a lot of us! This is the place to lose and it looks like there are a lot of us in the same boat! We can do it together!

    It does suck losing the same weight over and over again. It's so easy to fall off and be like crap I'm starting over yet again. Idk why but this time it feels so much different. Maybe because I'm 30, or I'm finally just fed up feeling like crap. I'm taking it day by day and setting mini goals. I've realized that by setting monthly goals I tend to fail. I am also no longer putting a weekly weight number I need to lose. I just want to lose weight. No matter how little or big. I'm a visual person. Saw some pretty neat things on Pinetrest.

    I have started over NUMEROUS times; hopefully the 186th time will be successful! I have used this site previously, but I never sought motivation through these forums or other users. This time I hope to change that; if anyone would like to add me, friend me, or whatever it is called on here, I would like that very much.

    I'm in the same boat! Had lost about 75 pounds after my youngest son but gained back about 15 in the past couple months, and now back at it again! For good this time! I would love new people to help keep each other motivated!

    Same boat and hopefully but not the Titanic..Lot older and hopefully wiser. Diabetic and on the new pill Farxiga and that working..so have to get the rest of me working. more exercise..STOP STOP STOP cheating..Kept a chart since I started farxiga and thought I only cheated once or twice a week it was more like I didn't cheat one or twice a week. New year,
