    I started over yesterday after about 7 months of VERY intermittent use, and gaining 13 pounds back. Sending you a friend request. I lost some too, and totally respect the reasons why. Best of luck to you, and remember that luck is when preparation meets opportunity! WE CAN DO THIS!

    I had lost 70 pounds prior to last February. I started a new job and time, energy, etc., got away from me, and then I discovered all the great restaurants (especially the calzone place with the cute owner, Dan) and when I got back on the scale after the 1st of the year, found that I had gained back 64 of my 70 pounds. So I am back too! Doing pretty good so far, and with it being freezing cold outside, it is easy for me to not visit the restaurants, although I am starting to miss Dan.

    Started again today after a few years. Forgot how good this app was. Much better than paying a slimming group. I'm going to report my progress to my work colleague every week for some motivation. Good luck to others starting over. Claire

    I'm starting over again too. Last time I logged my weight was over a year ago. I can't believe I let myself backslide like that and of course because of it I've gained weight. :'( But it's a new day right? So here I go again. :)

    Maybe you should ask Dan to chill somewhere outside of his work? .....just a thought! :)

    I've thought about it, but I am afraid of rejection, I've been hoping he would suggest it, and have carried my phone number in my back pocket every time I go in, just in case. Which of course, he never has, although when I told him I wasn't going to be coming in until it warmed back up, he reminded me that they deliver and told me that if I wait til after 2, he starts doing deliveries. Which just lead to me day dreaming of that stereotypically adult film plot. . .pizza man rings door bell, scantily clad woman answers, and says, ooh, I seem to be a little short on cash. . .

    Hey I am starting over too.. I've always seemed to give up or quit long before I reach any of my goals and so this time I'm hoping to find people who will help me stay motivated and dedicated to this.. Thanks. Feel free to add me

    Welcome back everyone! Your stories are very familiar. I am also starting over: two years ago I lost 37lbs with MFP. Was fantastic, loved it, then over the course of that time I gradually put it all back on again. I should have done something about it when I went up the first dress size, not two, but hey, denial is a major thing...

    This time I'm even more serious. Looks as though a lot of people use this site for maintaining weight loss after they lose it -- which had never occurred to me before. That will definitely be me once I reach my goal, I'm in it for the long haul this time.

    Good luck all!
