Trying to get this started....AGAIN

So I am not really new, but I haven't been around for 6 months. For the second time, I got 5 lbs away from my goal, and then totally lost it. I was doing really well during the summer, working out six days a week, watching my eating...it was great. Then August rolled around and I started nursing school...17 credit hours and two little ones at home and I just didn't know how to fit my health into it all. Then the cold came and it just got worse... Well now I am back and looking for help, support, advice...anything that might get me back to where I need to be. I haven't been horrible about weight gain, but I did put back 8 lbs, but I am not so upset about that as just the shape of my body...I am flabby...I no longer feel beautiful when I look at myself in the mirror without the careful covering of forgiving clothing. PLEASE HELP! Friends would be much appreciated as I slowly work myself back into this fitness and health thing.

    I had a similar experience. I was really making progress and then work started making it too difficult to workout and eat healthy. Or maybe I should say I wasn't tough enough to stick with it. I've been back for a little while and am in need of active friends myself. Please add me!
