    Hi! I have tried this before, lost about 20lbs, then lost my way and gained it all back and am around the 200# mark again. Major failure on my part. I just started over (today is my first day back) and am ready to do this! Congrats on your 30lb loss!!! You are moving in the right direction. We can do this!!! Request sent!

    You can do it. A year ago I was 250 and now I'm 142. Really just cut out sugar and started snacking on things like sunflower seeds. Focus on nutrition and don't cut calories too drastically. You can do it!

    You've made a good start! Use the energy from that to inspire you to lose the rest. That's what I'm doing!

    You've made a great start! I'll send you a friends request :) ! I started MFP at a little over 257 lbs. I made it down to 166 lbs, then gained back 40! I'm now 18 lbs away from my goal of 165! It's definitely a journey.

    You can do it!
    Just keep on going forward. Don't punish yourself for that 10 pounds, everyday is a new day :)
    If first plan fails, make another one and another one!!!!!

    Same boat here. My husband deployed for 8 months, and I lost 35 pounds - he came home and I'm thinking that there has to be something to the saying "fat and happy," because I gained it all back. I'm not so happy right now and I'd really like to give up on Lane Bryant. So I'm starting over. Looking for motivation and support to keep me in check.

    Hi AlishaWhitt support and inner/outer motivation are tremendous gifts to have on your side. If you still need more support you can add me. Have a great day!

    Hi! I just started today and your post inspired me! I am exactly your weight and have the same goal! Way to go on losing 30. That's hard to do and also hard to gain some back as it makes you feel so different. You can do it!
