So here I am again! Gained my weight back (42 pounds to be exact) after doing soooo damn well!! After promising myself I'd never hit the 200's again! And for the 3rd... No, 4th... Umm.. Possibly 5th time of losing weight I go back up! Excuse? Well of course there is an excuse! Car accident, April 2015. Yup. A year ago. Within a year I gained back 42 pounds, saying it aloud is embarrassing. Anyway, I started back 20 whole days ago.. And I absolutely cannot wait to start feeling/seeing the results again! I am a pro at losing weight.. "The right way" or MY right way at least. Lol. Soooo here I go again! Opting out of failing again! Only loss will be these pounds!

Some say the journey is where the fun is instead of the goal at the end. I believe as long as you update your goals you will never be tired of the journey.3

It happens hun. Stay encouraged.1

You should be super proud of yourself for all the times you've lost weight! You can do it and you'll do it again
I'm sorry about the car accident, I hope it wasn't too serious. 1 -
Life happens. In life, many successful individuals fail numerous times before they actually succeed. You've lost weight before so you have an idea on how to do it again. Don't let this hiccup get you down.2

Forget what you did focus on what your doing
I lost 71lbs in 2012 I still had 45lbs to go but I then tore my calve muscle got married then last year got sepsis = 45lb gain so I had 84lbs to my new goal and it's slow but this time I'm having occasional meals out drinks if I want & treats
The thing is I've yoyoed for 28 years & each times it's harder so as I'm approaching 47 I know this has to be it as it will take longer the older I get
I'll add you & we can change our lifestyle ? 2 -
I have gained and lost hundreds of pounds in my adult life. I have learned that this happens to most of us on our way to being healthy and I think that each time it has happened I have come back stronger. Forgive yourself, a car accident is a major set back, and get back to what you know is healthy. We're here to help.1

I love your post. You will do it again and be great! At least you know how to lose it. I have been at the gym every morning at 4:30 am for the last 3 months and have only lost 4lbs. I’m not stopping though. It’s a struggle for me, so I wish I had your talent to lose it.1

@size102b ... No I haven't being weighing and measuring everything. In fact, I just took out my food scale this morning. I am going to start as of today. I have eating some of my exercising calories back, but not everyday and not all of them. I have to be honest and say, I haven't been putting absolutely thing in MFP. I was logging on for a week and then stopping. Not consistent with logging my food. As of today I have a 15 day streak, and this is why I've lost the 4 lbs. However, I feel like I'm missing something.1 -
You have not failed! Failure is what happens when you quit trying. You've gotten up, dusted yourself off, and are back on that horse. You can do it!4

I'm here again also. I was at 240 I lost 50. Gained it back and then some. Got pregnant went up to 300 lbs! I got down to 235 and got sick ..anxiety attacks and here I sit at 256 lbs. I know I can do it I've done it before! Just gotta stay motivated and find what works for me. Hope you find what works for you, too !1

I have much respect!! Keep going I know you'll see results fast with such positive attitudes you have!!1

You know what to do and you know there's no magic pill. Just get back on the horse. It will work out and one day it'll even stick. Trust me, I have gained and lost more times than I care to admit. Life happens, crap happens, and sometimes I'm just lazy but acknowledging it is half the battle!1
