I had lost 18 pounds using MyFitness. Needless to say I stopped, gained back all 18 pounds...I am sad and disappointed in myself

    Allow yourself to feel those feelings, but not for too long, and then get back on the myfitnesspal wagon. I am new here but I have done programs in the past such as WW, and fallen off many times. The one thing that I have learned is to track EVERY day, even if I eat badly. Once you miss a day, it becomes two, then a week, and it's harder to get back on. Don't spend a lot of time beating yourself up though, because it doesn't do a bit of good. Today is a new day!

    Just have to make that lifestyle change in order to keep the weight off, I have had it off and on several times but never changed my overall eating habits. This time my habits have changed and now the weight it sliding off rather easy.

    Hey! You know what tho, its coming back that is the key. I used to be sad that I tried and failed so many times until I realized that probably kept me from becoming super morbidly obese. Getting a grip on it every few years was a big help, actually.

    Skinny people do that all the time - live their lives and then decide to lose 15 lbs and then work on it and then coast... You're so o.k. its not even funny!

    Be upset, but make that your motivation to get back on the wagon. We are all human and can't be perfect all the time. Allow yourself to be disappointed, but don't let it keep you down. You can do it!

    Don't worry about it! Just jump back in and try again.

    I tried to quit smoking 6 times before. One was for a couple days, the next was a whole week, then I made it 3 months, and what do you know 6 months came ... Now I am finally "Over it" and it has been nearly a year.

    If at first you don't succeed, try try again.

    I had similar before I started on here.

    I had managed to lose 2 stones, and because i got lazy and started to introduce refined sugar back into my diet (instead of baking myself using fructose) i put a stone of it back on.

    now i'm working to lose that stone agian !!!
