I've been a long time, on again/off again MFP member for years, a "success story" twice, and now I'm starting all over again

    What were some goals you met, seeing as you've had success twice. Also any reason as to why it was twice?

    Hey there, I am starting all over again right now. It's summer time and I am out of school. I picked a weigh in day, which is every Thursday and I also decided that that will be my start over day. I re evaluate reasons why I want to lose weight but more importantly how I want my life to go. There is nothing wrong with starting over; I consider it to be fun. If you need a friend I am here

    I say twice because I used MFP in 2010 to lose 30 lbs in 5 months and then again last year! My only goal first time was dropping weight. Last year, I competed in my first 5k, placed 1st in my division and 2nd overall female. Not sure why I can't post much from my phone so I sent a request where I can tell you more if you want to know.

    You can do it again, just learn from past and move forward! I am trying to shed10 lbs and boy they won't budge.!! Been trying to lose them for yrs. Following a meal plan for my goal this month. Always looking for motivating friends who communicate.

    I'm back again too after using MFP successfully 2 years ago. Just turned 50 and what worked then is no longer working now, so changing my strategy. Feel free to add me.

    I totally understand where you are coming from. I lost 60 pounds in 2011/2012. Over the last 3 to 4 years I play the gaining and losing the same 10 or 20 lbs over and over again but this March I felt that "click" ...you know that feeling that you can do it again, that feeling that I got this!

    So I am logging, weighing my food, working out and looking at the big picture but taking small steps to get there.
    Feel free to add me always looking for support!

    Good Luck!

    I started over again too! The last time I lost 50 pounds with MFP. I gained it all back! I hope to learn this time, that when I lose all my weight I will need to do maintenance and keep logging and checking into MFP. It is a life style change! I hope to get it right this time. I am tired of playing these games...I am getting to old! Add me too.

    This is my 4th time (in almost 5 years) using my fitness pal..first time I lost 27kgs and got to the top end of my BMI - HEALTHY! Then gained. Then lost 17kgs then gained then lost 14kgs then gained 16!!! Now im down 5.7kgs and I cant keep going on like this. If I havent "learnt" anything yet is there still hope? Ive never gotten back down to that "magic healthy weight" I hit first time!
