So I was very active on here. I had lost 52 lbs and then i stopped counting calories and working out and gained almost all the weight back. So now I'm back at it and on a mission to lose it again. I told myself while I lost the 52 lbs that I would NEVER gain the weight back and NEVER let myself get big again. And I did gain it back. I learned there are setbacks. There are failures. But I have learned that you can bounce back and get back on the horse. I'm taking this day by day. I know I can do this again. This morning I found I lost 3 lbs. Granted it's mostly water weight right now, but I'm headed in the right direction. :)

    That's kinda close to me. I lost 52 lbs and gained back 41. It's so depressing and frustrating. But once I see the scale going down further I'll be happy lol and this time I am determined to NOT gain the weight back again.

    I was down 130 and gained back 50. I'm learning how disciplined I need to be with my choices to make this work and be a regular part of my life. Skills that I did not learn when I was younger. Keep it up, you can do it!

    Hello. I am in the same boat. Was very active on here, exercised and ate right for a little over a year. Lost 42 pounds then for some reason just stopped. I am now starting over. I too know what to do and how to do it. I really want to do this again and not quit.

    Me too!! On here all the time, watched my diet did my exercise and was down 40 or so. Stopped logging in because I was happy with where I was at and slowly over two years gained it all back and then some. Losing it all again for good this time!!! Anyone feel free to add me!!

    I am learning new skills I was never taught as well. And I've learned that I can't just lose the weight and stop doing everything I had been doing up to that point and expect the weight to stay off. It's something I'm going to have to keep on and maintain even when I have hit my goal.

    I hope I don't quit. I mean, I know I can do it. I've done it once already. But it's like this fear/thought in the back of my head that's like "well what if I CAN'T do this again?" Kwim?

    I'll add you :) I gained most my weight back in a matter of 6 months. I was horrified!!
