Gained most of weight back

Options
Hi, i've been on mfp twice but wasn't really ready to do what i had to to lose weight, so i gave up and gained 30 of the 40 pounds i lost back.Instead of getting down on myself i have decided to make weight loss a priority and get right back to it. I am very serious about getting to my goal weight and would love some friendly support!! :D my outlook has changed drastically and i am a much more positive person now than before cant wait to get my health back. :)

    You can do it! I gained a lot of mine back too (25 of 40 lbs). Got serious right before Christmas and am down 16 of those 25 and 2 sizes! 9 more lbs and I'll be in my favorite size :). Hang in there and keep at it.

    Sometimes we have to do it more than once (or twice) to get to the place where we keep it off. It's just a matter of finding exercise(s) you really like so you will stick to it and your body will crave it. And the attitude, which you seem to have, to get there.

    I gained back 50 out of the 85 I worked so hard to lose. I understand what your going through and I am right there with you. I'm motivated to make a change because I need positivity in my life instead of constant depression.

    I lost 19, maintained for approx. 10 months, then gained 23. I think I'm still in shock and denial it happened. I try to get back on the wagon but I no longer have the will power I used to. It's very depressing. I have no good advice other than keep logging which is a battle I have daily.
