    I get what you are saying. In away it is keeping your self accountable because you have someone who is motivating you too! Only thing is dont get to wrapped up because every persons body is different. That is great you found a motivation tho and congrats on your amazing 35 pound loss!! 4 months that is impressive!! :)

    @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.

    Oh good... glad not to be solo here. I have gained, lost, lost gained... ect ect.

    Well... here we are and that is the good news. If we have done it before we can do it again, this time we just have to really pay attention to the foundation and mantain it, instead of neglecting it thinking it can handle itself.

    We got this

    Welcome and congrats on getting back on track. Feel free to add me. I am down 125 pounds in just under a year. I did it without surgery, pills, or any crazy diets. Heck, I still eat pretty much what I want. I do eat a little cleaner but still am not stressed by it. If you want to know how add me and send me a message.

    Welcome back! I lost 90lbs in about a year with MyFitnessPal, and then gained 40lbs back due to emotional stress and binge eating. But now I'm starting back on track just like you. Let's stick with it! Feel free to add me as a friend!

Found out I have a nodule ( or whatever it may be) on my thyroid... I CERTAINLY hope this is not the sign of things yet to be!! I am getting way to old to be playing these games.. lol. AND I dont want to be an oompaloompa UGH!!

    I am starting again also. I had lost 35 pounds and kept it off for about a year and a half. Then I got lazy and have gained every pound back. I am determined this time to keep the weight off! Good Luck to all of you!

    Hi
    Well same story with me. I lost 10 kg and gained it back because of not using the app some personal problems leading to stress and emotional eating specially sweets and now I want to fit in my clothes again.

    Exactly the same for me!
    Annoyed with myself! Worked so hard to lose it and have let a stone creep back on. Now I have to motivate myself to lose it, and by May!

    Same here. I'm trying to recapture the mindset I had when I lost weight a couple of years ago. It seemed so easy then, but I've had the hardest time staying focused lately.
