Any one doing this - AGAIN?

I feel you. Lost 100 lbs and gained it all back. Trying again but having no motivation is putting a damper on things.

I lost 50 lbs last year and have no gained all of it back. Previously i had lost 75 and gained that back as well. This time around i'm having such a hard time getting going. Hubby and I are doing it together, but he is doing amazing and i feel like i am dragging him down. This has been a new start this week, so far so good, but its only Tuesday ofc! Feel free to add me!

I'm the same time to kick my sorry button in to gear again I have a wedding to go 2 in December I'm not being the fat one again add me please

I'm in the same boat as you. I recently started back with changing my eating habits to a low carb diet. I am just starting out and it's rough as I have no support in this but myself. I am ready to do it if you are.

Yup! I, too, am doing it again. Sent you an FR!

I had a similar experience I lost a little more than 40 lbs a few years ago and kept it off until about a tear ago when I fell completely off track and gained 16 lbs thought it would be easy to get it off but so far Ive only lost 6-8 lbs but gained back a few of those so I still have 11 or 12 to go UGH!!! Time to get back on track and get serious about the weight loss once and for all. Feel free to add me if I can help you on your journey. But know you are certainly not alone .

I would like to be apart of your group also.

Don't know why I waited so long to get back to mfp when tracking helped so much in the past. I'm the ultimate yo yoer but off to a seriously strong start once again. All welcome to add me - happy to offer & receive support

This is the story of my life. I didn't have problems like this when I was younger. (weight gain) I am now in my late 60's and it is a lot harder to lose. I used to play soccer (20 years), racquetball, volleyball and basketball for the city; therefore I was pretty fit. I felt my best in my 40's, but now I am not as active because I do not want to injure my knees anymore by doing sports that I dearly love. I do not limp, but my knees do have problems and I don't want to be limping.

I do go to the gym 3 times a week, at least. I hike and work in the yard in the fall, winter, and spring. Not in the summer because it is just too hot here in the valley of the sun.

My suggestion is that we all COUNT EVERY BITE we eat BEFORE we eat it. I have done the best this week because of that. My husband, who doesn't have a weight problem, suggested to go to a burger place while we were out this week. I did not want to go, but he is a stubborn man and does not understand how hard it is to lose a pound. He told me I did not have to eat. Yeah, right. Like that was going to happen. I selected a hot dog with no soda or chips. I am lucky that I don't drink sodas. I was satisfied and knew I had those calories I could spare. I definitely think we need to count our calories. Be sure to weigh your food. Scales are pretty cheap on Amazon.

My friend that is on this myfitness.com with me has been a big help because we are feeding off of each other and we weigh every Monday and report to each other our accomplishment. We don't lie to each other as to what we ate wrong, etc. because we need to support each other My friend suggested that I keep a meal in one bar in my purse for incidents like I had this week with the burger place. I think that is a great idea. Although they cost $4.00 a piece, I would rather do that then gain any weight back that I have slaved/starved to lose. I really don't want to say starve because we should be eating filling foods that make us feel full.

Another suggestion, that I also need to take is when we lose the weigh is to monitor our weight once a week and go back on a diet quickly so that we don't gain it all back. Weight Watchers has a plan where you weigh in every week and when you reach your goal, you can be a lifetime member. I think they want you to be withing 2 pounds of your lost weight. That is what all of us need to do is watch our weight weekly and have a friend or friends that can do this with you. You don't have to join WW to do this.

Good luck to all of us that are struggling with our weight. We do need to motivate each other any way that we can. the more the merrier.

Same here. I will not give up! Add me please.

I can definitely relate. I've lost significant weight twice only to eventually gain it back. This is my 3rd time back. I'm looking for people to hold me accountable & keep me motivated. Please feel free to add me.

Well, the good news is--- WE ARE NOT ALONE! It's so depressing when you come to the realization that you gave up what you worked so hard for! I lost 70 pounds previously and felt amazing. Now that 70 pounds, plus 30 more, has crept back on. I am dedicated to being AND STAYING successful this time around. I am tired of wearing sweatpants, avoiding mirrors, and getting winded going up a flight of stairs.

I have always had a food problem, I like it, and then I lost 30 lbs on MFP and felt great. Then I gained 25 lbs and didn't feel great so I became Serious again and lost 35 lbs and felt Great. Then got complacent and gained all of it back and now I'm 10 lbs less than the day I started. Years of on and off again effort and I lost 10 lbs. Big whoop. To make matters worse I contracted one of the most insidious ailments known to man, I got old. No cure I'm told. Just have to deal with it. So being old and fat is apparently not a good thing. Joints ache, energy is non-existent, give a crap is really difficult, well nigh impossible. I need help. I walked last night and almost didn't make it home. Almost didn't care.

I'm going to try this one more time. I will be watching all of you to see if anyone comes up with a magic don't have to do this solution. Really hopeful on that one. Regardless, I'll try. I like pie. I like steak and potato. I like beer and wine. I really like donuts. I will miss them most of all.

Yes... Lost 20lbs. Have gained 10lbs back again. I don't ever want to go back to the way i was. Halfway is enough to give me the wake up call i needed. And i hadn't even reached my goal weight the 1st time. I just ordered Shaun-T "Cize it Up", and back on Davina "Intense" & "Fit in 15". I have a holiday i want to book. If I can lose half of the weight before Oct. I am gonna go ahead and book it. If not.. Well I am going to have a disappointed husband. I am mainly doing this for me as I do a sedentary job and don't want to be getting fat off office cakes and seeing other people doing just that stuffing themselves, makes me a bit ill. And that gives me motivation to try again. As i was one of them. Its to easy to say, oh go on its friday. Or oh go on I'll burn it off later. Then later never comes. I am looking for friends to keep me motivated if anyone on here needs the same, feel free to post.

OK please count me in, I originally started my journey in Jan 2012 and up until last summer I was eating healthy and working out almost 7 days a week, I went through a really rough patch , personally , losing my husband through divorce, my family unit falling apart and the kids growing older and moving away and then my mom passing away, after 3 almost 4 years of dedication and hard work.... Major Depression has set in and I have been on a forward climb to get back up on the horse, with having one or two good faithful days and the then its back to the black sliding. My eating goes right back to the quick, processed crap. I started out at 279 got down to 164 and current weight today 195.4... someone help me to stay motivated and to find the right track and stay on board.... (I know we have to want to do this on our own, but it never hurts to have others in the same boat helping you to row.)
