    Yah, lost about 45lbs, gained 22 back in the last 7 weeks :open_mouth: feeling disappointed in myself, and embarrassed to see everyone that has been complimenting me on the weight loss :(. Taking it one day at a time, today I did good. Need help to stay on track everyday...

    It sucks getting so excited about something just to loose that and feel disappointed all over again. I was laid off from my job early last year, so I took the time to focus on fitness and healthy eating managing to loose about 15lbs. Started working the end of 2015 and currently have I gained it back and a few more pounds. I have so much health information and know what I need to do I just have no motivation to start again. Good luck to you and I hope you get back to where you want to be.

    This is my third time around, but every time I start off better than the time before. The first time, I think I lost about 20 pounds. Then I got off-track, and gained a bit back.

    The second time, I had just gotten pregnant. I used MFP to keep a healthy weight while pregnant, lost all of the baby weight, maintained for a little while, and then got all the way down to my goal weight. Then I thought, "I can maintain this without logging." Nope. I gained 15 pounds!

    This time I'm accepting that getting to my goal is not the end. I've lost about half of that, but I'm feeling frustrated. Last time I got rid of all of my old pants because they were too big and falling off. Now I'm basically trying to get back into my own pants. I know that when I hit my goal weight I have to set a new goal. Not for loss, but something to keep me motivated and working. Otherwise I'll get bored and gain again. :(

    This is the 1st time for me with MFP BUT CERTAINLY not the 1st time for me yo-yo'ing with my weight. I can easily make excuses as to why...but this is this the first time I have worked as hard as I have. Oct. 1, 2015 I started this process & was down just about 50 lbs as of March 1, 2016. I still needed to lose 20-25 lbs. to get to goal but decided to switch gears on how I approached this whole thing (front loading my approach with cardio exercise & easing up on my militant, mostly protein diet I had been following since my body was doing a few odd things) and have fallen stagnant & even gaining a few lbs. since then. I am in seriously need to RE-commit myself to lose these last 25 lbs & find a diet that makes me feel really good & exercise reasonably.

    I'm totally there with you. Between job changes, mood changes and city changes, it can be hard to keep up with a healthy lifestyle. I've just got back on here with the intention to work out and be more aware of my food habits. If you are interested in support, I'm here for you.

    I'm giving this a try again. I also lost a bit of weight the first time, but because of certain circumstances I started to gain some of the weight back. :-( I decided to give this another try... I'm about a week in, and doing OK so far.

    This is my second time around, I lost 32 pounds the first time and gained back 35. One of my siblings passed away ,along with working and going to college full time I just stopped trying. I am back and I am more determined than ever. It is much harder this time than it was the last time around. I have managed to workout everyday and get my eating habits on a healthy track. I would love to join a group every bit of help is appreciated.

    Yup, I am starting again. I cant even remember how many times I have lost and gained weight. Its been a lot though. 50lbs here, 40lbs there, another 50 and so on. Been quite overweight since I was about 6 years old and I am knocking on 40's door. Sick of starting over every time. Last time I stopped was from injuries and I never started again and now its almost all back. Just 12 lbs short of the heaviest I have ever been. That's an accomplishment in its own, not gaining it ALL back lol.

    If anyone wants to friend me, please do! I need the friends who are in the same boat. Nice to know others who have been through the same thing.

    I'm doing this again too... before I was never overweight (I'm not now either) but I wanted to shift some weight. I managed to lose a stone and a half but then it turned into a restrictive eating disorder, which then after a few months resulted in regular binges.
    I've now gained 2 and a half stone over the past year, and I really need to do something about it before I do end up being overweight and unhealthy. My goal weight is 126lbs (I'm 5"6). :smile:

    I have gained and lost 30 lbs TWICE - this will be my third go (down 15, 15 to lose). Different factors like depression, relationships (good and bad) led me to abandon my fitness goals and nutrition. It can be frustrating to say the least to have to start back over. I know when I'm fit I am much happier. When I'm chubby, I'm depressed, don't want to be seen in public and would avoid activities such as pool days and lake days with friends.

    I remember getting back on the treadmill for the first time after a chubby break and my thighs rubbed together and caused a rash. I felt fat shaking in areas that weren't there the last time I worked out. I felt tired and miserable. But you have to start somewhere and just keep at it.

    I feel the same as all of you. I lose weight and then gain it back. It's the story of my life. I LOVE food. Why is this so damn hard. I often think it would be easier to be addicted to cigarettes rather than food. I tell myself, "tomorrow I will get up early and exercise". I set my alarm and then wake up in the middle of the night and turn the alarm off. I am missing out on so much stuff being overweight yet I just can't seem to stick to anything.

    Me too! Lost 45, gained 35 back. I moved, found some fun friends, stopped exercising regularly, over ate and over drank. None of my clothes fit and I'm determined to get back down and maintain it. The good thing is that those friends I found, are all athletic and active. We run together on Tuesday mornings and run local races for fun. I just started another round of Insanity this week. I've done this program before and I know it whips me into shape! Add me!

    I had huge success and lost 45 kilograms. I was super fit and dedicated to working out. I was eating healthy. I looked and felt the best I had ever had. A whole load of factors played a part and now Im back up 30 kilograms. I am HEART BROKEN and angry and disappointed. How did I get back to this person? The switch has finally flipped again and I am ready to take back my body. I am looking for people who have or are going through the same thing. Id love to hear from you and get in touch and help kick your *kitten* into gear if you promise to do the same for me? Kerry xxx

    I'm with you! Let's do this! We can and we WILL! I even started on Weight Watchers 2 weeks ago!

    Yes, me too. I am trying not to feel so disgusted with myself for undoing all my hard work, again. I worked out that over the years if I add it all up I have lost getting on for 200 lbs through my weight going up losing it again. I seem to have no will power once it starts going on again, I end up saying "diet starts on Monday", but you all know what happens when Monday comes!

    This time I HAVE to do something about it as I feel horrible and I can't fit in my motorbike trousers anymore and I refuse to buy new ones, and I love to ride but can't until my clothes fit. I want to get back to how I was in my profile picture. I just don't think I have the motivation to do it all over again. I am sitting here typing this to avoid working out.

    I don't want to have to log as it seems to make me obsess about food, thinking about it all the time, but I don't think I can do it without logging?

    I just am feeling whats the point cos it will only come back again like it always does. It makes me feel sad to face the fact that I may have to log (or at least pay very close attention) to what I eat for the rest of my life.

    OK, I better do some exercise now!
