in Getting Started
So just like the title says I'm starting over again, I don't know what round this is but, this time I'm going to make realistic goals. 1lb per week and 10,000 steps per day and lots of water. Anyone else in the same boat looking for a friend?

    Been awhile since I have been on here and I am also starting over! I quit smoking 5 months ago and now I am turning my life around! I gained weight through my quit smoking process. I didn't realize how long it was going to take my body to adjust to being a non smoker. I have tried everything to start boosting my metabolism but now it's time to get my body ready for bikini season.

    I can't believe it but you're right, summer is right around the corner. While I know I won't be ready for a bikini, it would be great to look better in shorts.

    Hi I too am starting over again. Started Monday and so hoping to stay on track this time round. I do have a question though on the food database how do I delete food from this that I have added. I can only see when I type in a food and say add checked but nowhere does it let me remove any of them? Thanks Ladies - Carol Ladysmith BC

    I just restarted too! My future sister-in-law would like me to wear a bridesmaid dress for her wedding this June that I wore two years ago - gotta get back on track!

    Welcome back!
    I'm kind of restarting with myfitnesspal too, but this time when I start falling off the bandwagon I'm going to just keep going the next meal!
    It's silly to just completely stop because I binged or indulged too much.
    That is my main goal. If I have a huge slice of cake I'm not going to stop eating healthy completely, I'll pick up an apple or whatever and keep going.

    I just started over on Monday and it's my first time on MFP. I had lost 50 lbs a little over 2 1/2 yrs ago and kept it off but within the last year gained 30 of it back. I know its possible so here I am :) .

    Hi, I'm starting over again although I never really got the hang of MFP last attempt! I re-joined SW and need to loose weight for my son's wedding next May, I would appreciate any help, tips, motivation and looking for friends who are in the same boat :)

    Go to your food list ,just above it has topics recent,frequent and a couple of others, select frequent, it pulls up frequent foods, under those foods it says delete item, check the food you want to delete and select delete item, it then says are you sure and say okay.

    I'm starting over too. I lost a lot of weight on MFP last year & the year before, but I gained most of it back - long story, lots of emotional eating. I can't keep it under control, unless I log. So, here I go again. I did it once before, so hopefully I can do it again. Good luck!

    I can tell you this I started over on Dec 31st of last year and I too set my goals to 1lb a week and honest logging of my food intake and exercise and to my surprise I been losing more than 1lb a week you will succeed with more food that 1200 calorie crap is not for every one. That was a smart decision on your behalf and for me too. Stay focus:)

    I am not starting over, but I need to get refocused as for the last couple of months, I have put on some of the weight that I took off. Those are pretty good goals that you have set and pretty much mirror mine. I am fairly good at 10,000 steps a day and I monitor that using a fitbit. Add me if you wish, I have sent a request.

    I also need a re-start. After one year, I am half-way to my goal weight, but I've gained 8 pounds these last two months!! I don't want to slide back any further, so my goal is to start this new year with a fresh mind and attitude (and loose the rest of that 30lbs)!

    Try not to look at it as starting over but picking the ball up and keep running with it.
