in Introduce Yourself
I am looking for active people who are all about motivating and pushing through. I left Myfitnesspal to pursue another type of program only to hurt myself, gain more weight and realize it wasn't right for me. So I am back and am always looking for friends :)

    Welcome back! Feel free to add me if you want. Not sure how motivating I am but I've been told I can be funny. In a kind of "everyone point and laugh" sort of way.

    Me too, I undid so much hard work in 18 months off MFP - I've add nearly 50lb in that time and hardly noticed it happening.

    This process is all about trial and error and tweaking where necessary - don't beat yourself up over it :]
    You're back and ready for change and that is all that matters! Stay positive, we'll help you!

    I had to lose all the weight twice before I kept it off (70lb)......it's been a while keeping it off now but I am back to lose another 30. I love offering support to those who went through (or are going through) something similar.

    Anyone is welcome to friend me! My diary is open and I love sharing comments :-)

    I start, stop and come back again. This time I really want it to be the time I stay. To get support from the community here would really help!

    Thanks Everyone! :) I think I have added all of you the computer is being a little whacky here at work. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone. I really appreciate getting some friends. I really want to accomplish this already, what I like about myfitnesspal is you track and you do things YOU can do. Not some video tape telling you what to do when in reality you can't. After 9 surgeries I'm a tad limited so back on the bike I go and focusing on what I eat. I am all about friends so please feel free to add me. I am a little quirky with my statuses though, I prefer sarcasm and sense of humor as oppose to crying why me.

    I just returned too after a two year hiatus. I was getting tired of tracking my calories each day. My weight has slowly drifted back up to near my all time high. I run 2-3 days a week, do push-ups in the AM and try to get in 70,000 steps each week. It's not enough; I need to watch what I eat and could use all of the support I can get. Glad to see a couple of my old friends are still around.

    second(ok maybe 3rd or fourth) timer here! I know how you feel I kept trying different things only to come back to this... which is the only one that worked. HA

    Feel free to add me b/c I'm not going anywhere, anytime soon. Sticking to what works this time

    Hi- Welcome back! I just rejoined a month ago after a couple years 'off' - It is so encouraging to hear that others go through these cycles sometimes, too! You can do this-
