Over two years ago I dedicated myself to tracking and accountability. I stayed on track for 6 months and lost 40 lbs getting within 5 of my target. I then slowly stopped tracking and gradually over 18 months gained 30 back. I'm motivated to get back on track and hope those that reach goal remember as I will that tracking and accountability is something Ive learned is necessary for some, me included.

    Sad how that happens. Each of you Againers inspire me to stay on my wagon.

    I'm coming out of a slump myself - never broke my log in streak, but I definitely let my exercise habits wane and I stopped being honest with my diary. I've learned the same lesson as you. Re-committing feels great. Good luck!

    @Hulbert0089 I love that profile pic!

    I think most of us have been in your shoes. It's easy to slowly fall off the healthy bandwagon. It starts with 1 slip-up and gradually you slide off track. But, you noticed and have gotten yourself back to tracking. You got this.
