    A couple of years ago I was at 353lbs. I got all the way to 256lb and gained most of it back. When I changed my lifestyle I was 307lb now I'm at 276lb. I know how it feels to gain it back and how easy it is to lose your way.

    I lost 25 pounds last year, then quit smoking, got sick and depressed and gained it all back. I am starting over. I have planet fitness membership and started the 21 Day fix program. so not that I am back down 3 pounds, my body is sore all over, I remind myself of what I did to bring the weight back and now what I need to do to keep going. I am 50 years old, and it took me this long to develop all these bad habits. One thing I remind myself, it will never take 50 years to correct it all if I try to do something different every single day. Hang in there! I want the next half my life to be more about me and living healthy.
    On a better note, I didn't lose all the physical work I had gained because I found I raked and gardened for 3 hours at a time last weekend and I didn't collapse like I usually do every spring. I am grateful for that and give myself a break on
