    I'm pretty sure if I want to keep the weight off (if I can ever lose it all) I'll have to count calories for the rest of my life. I eat senseless if I don't pay attention.

    It seem like we all are on the same page. Taking baby steps will definitely get us closer to our goals!!

    I hear ya! I lost 30, too, by logging every single day and earning every calorie I ate through exercise. Lack of consistent tracking and injuries sabotaging my workouts led to me gaining 20+ back. Bleck! I'm starting the new year off with the conviction to log every day!

    A few years ago I lost 90 pounds - at least 50 from using this app. I kept it off for three years, but started with the bad habits again. 20 lbs have creeped back - so here I am again logging calories and exercise. It is really what worked.

    This is my 2nd time around, logged in on 1/5/15 and showed last log in as 1/2/14 showed only 3 lbs lost:( back at it again, doing it with my hubby, so I know it's going to be easier this time around with each other's support and MFP community:)!

    Sound like there were a lot of us who got comfortable over the holidays. I had lost 20 when I focused on look good for vacation in November but it didn't take long to gain it back when I didn't track.

    @sierradawn82 Good for you getting back into it, this app pays off in both the short term and long term. I enter the new year being 35 pounds lighter than I was in September so I have done really well but I feel motivation waning - I did have a good friend to "compete" with but she has since moved on - I find that is the secret, knowing someone is there to compete with and make sure you maintain your progress.

    I lost 37 just 3 lbs short of my goal weight when I ruptured a disc in my lower back in March 2015. Constant pain and the meds where only partially to blame for my lack of focus and I gave up logging my foods. I did find an exercise I COULD do - aquacise 3x/week - but it also increased my appetite. Anyway I'm 4 weeks post-op from back surgery and now feel ready to get back to monitoring my food intake...27 lbs to goal. All the best to everyone in the same boat here :smile:

    I didn't gain it all back, but within 5 pounds was too close for me. Starting an evening exercise routine and going back to calorie counting along with a new fitbit. Hopefully it will work for me again.

    I'm starting back too. It was too hard to track while traveling and eating with other people for Christmas and New Years. I forgot to weigh myself this morning to see what kind of damage I did during the last couple weeks, but I'm logging my food again as of today.

    Thanks for the inspiration! Good to know I'm not the only one that fell behind. I did so well a year go, eating right and at the gym four times week (lost the 20lbs I wanted). I ended up spraining my ankle mid-April and that's when I slowly stopped going to the gym...eating habits got worse. I found myself binge eating carbs upon carbs. The past 7/8 months have been a new low, throwing away all that I worked so hard for. It is very hard to turn away my food addictions, which I think we can all agree. I've been doing much better on my food choices recently, still need to start my gym regimen. Love the motivation and need the motivation.
