Hey All :)

I am posting this because I am struggling to get back into my grove. I started out in January at 228 pounds and currently weigh 174. I want to get down to 145-150ish and hope to do it by October.. (when I move to Australia, YAY!) However I cant seem to get back into the swing of things prior to my Australian vacation last month. I am hoping posting will inspire me to work hard again and get to where i would like to be :)

This is me at 228.. i hove posted this before a while back, but its really the only pics I have from that weight as I tended to dodge taking any.. haha

    Just do it! :smile: Get yourself back into a routine.....write it out on paper/here/where ever if it helps. I am just getting back into the swing of things after "coasting" while on my 2 week vacation. I posted on my wall what I had planned that way all of my MFP peeps will help to keep me accountable. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

    You look totally fabulous.

    I am actually 35lbs total into my weight loss and would love some new friends to help keep me motivated as I am finding it much harder lately. Friend request coming your way.

    Keep up the good work - you can do this!!

    Whatever you do, keep tracking. Whatever you do, don't gain any weight. If you never lose another pound, okay, but you don't want to gain any back!!! I first went to Weight Watchers and weighed in at 228 (9 years ago). I lost 42 lbs. Then I got pregnant, then I gained it back + 5 lbs. So I went to WW again, and did not stick with it. It works very well if you stick with it. Then I gained consistently for the next 5 years. At the beginning of this year, I weighed 258. It has taken me this long to get back to 228. I could just kill myself for gaining so much. Why didn't I just go into maintenance rather than quit all together?

    Well, anyway, I'm back on track now, and I'm thinking of myself having turned back the clock. I have not been 228 lbs for the last 9 years. It feels GOOD! You are currently about the weight I was when I fell off the wagon the first time. Don't do it!!!

    You look fantastic! Maybe try some new things? New exercise or sport you've always wanted to try? Change your carb/fat/protein levels? Try new foods? Hope you can find your groove back so you can reach your goal! Good luck!!

    I tend to run in to the same wall...yes, and last time that happened (roughly spring of last year) I gained HALF of what I lost back (40lbs)...and now I'm starting back at it, which has taken me more than 6 months to do. I think what it is is that you look GREAT and you feel great, so you start to lose motivation. Unfortunately you can't go back to your old lifestyle because the weight WILL come back. You have done SUCH a great job and in a fairly short amount of time! Don't let this little speed bump slow you down because that 5lbs will turn into 10 into 20, etc. etc. before you even know it and I can promise you, you don't want that to happen!!!!
    Good luck!!!
