Back again

Rancie2239 · April 2016

I just logged into my MyFitnessPal account and saw that I am back to my original weight from 2014 after losing almost 40 lbs. I am thoroughly upset with myself. I have my daughter's wedding coming up in early June 2016 - only 2 months away and I hate the way I look in the dress I bought.

I am charging up my Fitbit and uploaded the apps for MyFitnessPall and Fitbit to my phone. Here we go again.

I unfortunately decided to start this again after breakfast. My breakfast was a New York size bagel, butter/olive oil, Chai latte and some jelly beans. I hope I can do better as the day/week/months go by.

Determined yet again,
Terri

Thanks @queenliz99 how long have you been doing this?

This? Calorie counting? Steering people to helpful threads? Using MFP?

Rancie2239 · April 2016

All of it. I can see that you posts 9848 times so I can see you are a great resource. Any motivational advice for a 55+yo?

Welcome back! Remember to be kind to yourself! If a bad day happens, let it roll off your back and look to the future!

You are awesome for getting back into it! Just starting up again is a big step, you should be super happy with yourself. You can do it!

Thanks everyone. I know that being over 55 brings other challenges with weight loss and I took your recommendation queenliz99 to join that group. Life is great except for the weight issues. My health is fairly good, some knee pain but blood pressure and A1c are in check but I am feeling the effects of carrying on the extra weight in my knees, breathing and apnea.

I am back again too. I am almost to 190 and I don't want the scale to tip over to this number. Please feel free to add me. I need to lose 50+ pounds. Starting today on the right foot. About to take my first walk in months. I need all the help and encouragement I can get.
