Ok, been here done that several times (weight on, weight off). I am now 71 and need to be rid of the spare tire and a bunch of other weight (approx. 40 lbs.). So......I am going to try to stick to counting my calories. Tried Weight Watchers numerous times and can't seem to get it to work for me. I will try the free portion of this, WW has gotten too expensive for this senior citizen and when you get right down to it, losing weight is eat less, move more; so I am going to try to do just that. I had back surgery in June this year so exercise is limited but as long as I can walk, I should be able to lose.

    Hi
    I know how restart goes. I have been on MFP for serveral years and was off and on. However 7 weeks ago yesterday I got back from vacation and weighed myself and got my wake up call. We all have one. That day when finally you realize you need to and are ready to get real and stick to it. That was my day. I am now less then a pound away from having lost 20lbs. I have over 38 lbs more to loose so I still have a ways to go, but this time I'm not stopping for anything.

    Beside just reaching that point of serious commitment I have also found a major difference this time and it is my group of committed friends on MFP. I have a great group now who log daily and go on the news feed and comment and like and just generally support one another. If you don't have a good group I suggest you look for one. If you are committed to logging and supporting friends on news feed feel free to add me. I would be happy to help you along your restart. Either way I wish you a path of commitment support and success.

    Thanks, and congrats on you 20 lb. loss. I have managed to log my food for several days straight now and it is opening my eyes to some mistakes I am making. I am hoping to get through these holidays without really blowing it.
