    I thought that was my wall post for today, but I see I'm not alone. Being a woman is hard, and even harder when you have responsibilities like children, full time jobs, etc. To take the time and focus on yourself and get and be healthy. I o have and an on this wagon to start over, but I'm tired of starting over and over and over. I want to see myself differently and be proud of the accomplishments I will achieve this time. I'm looking for great support from this community and some accountability partners as we conquer this task of becoming healthy.
    Thanks for the original post because you're not in this alone, I feel the exact same way.

    Thanks!!! I wish this app had a like/love button...I would've hit it!!

    I am back and determined to make it stick this time. I have gained almost all of the 20 lbs I lost and upset at myself for letting it creep back up on me. I know what I need to do to get back on track just gotta do it!

    I'm reading everyone's post and if you guys are willing I sure could use the friends as well!
    Add me as well if you would like. I need all the friends I can get

    I did this before and lost down to 160 then messed up and gained it all back plus more. I really want to do this and keep it off this time. I'm so tired of feeling awful and not wanting to do anything.

    I just came back 3 days ago after being away for over a year. I am basically starting over. I didn't gain it all back, but close. I am hoping to find my motivation. I guess I made it back here so it's a start.

    Well I am logging my food again after a seven month hiatus. This was my third day in a row. I was in a steady work out routine last year at this time and now I weigh more than I ever have. I am not obese but I'm not entirely happy with my current status. Bad eating and no exercise. I'm going to make baby steps, be persistent, and try not to be too hard on myself when I am not 100% up to my (sometimes unrealistic) expectations. The hardest part to accept is that we are trying to make LIFESTYLE changes here, not just something temporary until we get to where we want to be. It takes a long time to set a new pattern so I'm just going to keep trying. Feel free to add me as a friend and we will see where this goes. I have never participated with a group on MFP so this might be helpful! Best of luck to everyone. We can do it as long as we stay positive and remember that beauty (and even sexiness) comes in all shapes and sizes. We need to shape up for our HEALTH! I am sure I will feel better once I can stick to the "right path" for a while. I'm just going to aim to stay on track for one tiny week so it doesn't seem so overwhelming...

    Add me too! Last year I lost 20 pounds. 15 of it came back since January and this time around I have zero motivation. I am off for the summer and have 6 more weeks until I go back to school--hoping for 10 pounds during that time, but would be satisfied with ANY forward motion! I have been logging only sporadically, which is a big problem. And only exercising sporadically, which is a big problem. It seems so easy--eat less, move more, so why can we not do it consistently???? I know better than to eat 9 cookies at 10pm and expect to feel perky the next morning, so why am I doing that?!?!?!?!
    In any case--yes--back at it! We can do this!
