Hi all! I'm a mom to 4 kids (18,9,6,4), one husband & 3 dogs!!!!! :# I am a full-time Financial Analyst and work like crazy...

In 2011, I lost 89 lbs using MFP and was feeling great about myself....!!!!!

THEN.... booya... let myself go... again!!!!

Ugh! So frustrating. MFP was the only thing that has EVER worked for me when I actively used the app/message boards. I have come onto MFp in the meantime "here-and-there" with the great intention of logging daily.... only to log breakfast and lunch.... and......... eat whatever the hell I wanted for dinner!!!

So... as of 3/26/15. I am STARTING OVER! No freakin' excuses!!!

Starting today at 232... Goal of 160.


IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND ARE WILLING TO FRIEND ME AND HELP ME STAY ON TRACK.... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO SO!!! :):):):)

    I'm in the same boat. I lost 75 pounds on MFP in 2011-2012. Gained all but 3 pounds back. Recently got started again.

    Me too...regained 40 in the last couple of months after a really successful three year health and fitness run. About year ago I just gave up. I was so tired of trying to keep EVERYTHING together. It is shocking how easy it was for me to just let go. So far so good this time around although I am really trying to stay focused on a day at a time.

    ;) Welcome Home Everyone...welcome Home :D


    OP..saw your post and realized others were returning as well.. so wanted to wish you all a big Welcome back!! Happy you're all here to get back in Action :)

    Work hard, stay committed, realize losing the weight is the easier part, keeping it off and keeping on plan can sometimes be the hardest of all.

    But it can be done!

    Seriously..jump over the Success Stories section to get rejuvenated because ALL of us can do this!!! <3

    Wow - sounds like we all have the same story. I lost 87 lbs on MFP during 2013 and gained back over 60 during 2014. So I'm back on the MFP program and planning on this being the LAST do-over. Done with do-overs!

    Everyone is welcome to add me! :)

    Just remember, take it easy and don't hold back on your favorite foods. Just eat less of them. If you want a junk meal, eat it! Just be good the next day. :smiley:
