Starting over!!!

MsFlabULess · July 2016

I'm ready to start this again! I lost 30 lbs and then fell off the wagon due to being on a fire assignment for work and working everyday 16 hrs per day and sitting in front of a huge snack table! I'm looking for more friends so we can motivate each other and hopefully reach our goals!
I am a single mom of 2 girls and I have a sw of 302.7(start date of my lifestyle change this time is 7/11/16) my cw is 301.6 and my gw for now is 180. That may change once I get there. Oh, and I'm 5'7. So don't be shy and let's drops some pounds!!!

You go, Girl! I've been there (lost and gained back). May I make a little suggestion? It may be less frustrating if you start with a goal that you can reach in a few weeks. I set my goal to lose about 20 pounds. I lost that in a few weeks, celebrated, then I changed my goal for another 10 pounds, etc. I get discouraged easily.

Hey mama... you got this. We will back you up. I am at 266 I just lost 11 my goal is 200 for now. My frame looks good around that mark. I'm also a single mom of 2 dirls. 14 and 4. We can rock this. Oh and my last name is Jones! Lol like we are sisters.

Kindred spirits haha. I take everything as a sign so maybe we're supposed to reach our goals together! Idk it sounded good but good luck to you! This time I hope to post a lot more and hold myself accountable for everything! I'm also hoping to keep this discussion open and that more people will join us!

I have started more times than I can count, but I really feel like this is it. I've been on my weight loss journey since January and back on MFP since June. Feeling more positive and stronger than ever and a lot of that has to do with some of the amazing people I've met through this site. Feel free to friend me.

Just sent you a request. What is your sw cw and gw if you don't mind me asking?

seashell603 · July 2016

Good for you! I'm also getting back on the wagon, I'm starting by walking 3 miles everyday and then weighing myself at the end of the week to see where that gets me

You can do it!! Good for you!!

Thanks so much!!

Mardill · July 2016

I understand how you feel. I had lost almost 40 lbs a few years ago & thought I could continue on my own. Wrong. Gained most of it back. So last fall I restarted at 269 lbs & logged on daily for a few months, then went into Hibernation for 5 months over the winter. On Leap Year Day, Feb 29/16 I weighed myself, saw that I had actually lost 5 more lbs! I immediately got back to logging every mouthful every day (I have now logged on 136 days since then) so as not to gain back what I had lost & now weigh 234 lbs!

Add me as a friend & we can support each other.

MsFlabULess · July 2016

That is awesome congrats! I'm sending you a request now!

Wraiythe · July 2016

Good for you! I lost nearly 80 lbs on here a couple years ago, but had to stop exercising due to some medical issues. Of course once the exercising stopped, everything else went out the window and I gained about 35lbs back again. I'm back now and trying to get myself back on track. again. I've lost the 35lbs (again) and am hoping to lose a WHOLE lot more. I'm hovering between 264 and 275 right now (yay water weight) but I'm hoping to get down to 160. A day at a time!

MsFlabULess · July 2016

I'm so glad more and more of ya'll are responding! It seems like everyone is well on their way to reaching their goals! I lost another 1/2 a pound according to my scale today. I'm like an obsessive weigher haha I know it's terrible but it helps me know that I'm still going in the right direction. I can't wait to be able to post before and after pictures! I have some befores but don't plan on taking any durings until I'm to the half way mark.
