    Starting again tomorrow! Lost almost 50lbs and gained it all back! I'm disappointed in myself but I'm gonna really kill it because for my 21st birthday next year I want to travel!

    I'll be climbing this latter with you also, to the 120lbs to drop. One of my goals to get there will be to reset psychologically. Force myself to changed the way i view gym visits and when and where to work out.

    I've been in your shoes. I was always on a diet it seemed, starting and stopping, never really getting anywhere really. Till about a year and a half ago when I decided to finally just get serious. I have lost 97 pounds in that time and I have about 25 more to go to get to goal. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

    I'm in the same boat as you! I started again about 50 days ago, starting with needing to lose 120. I've lost 14 so far, so will have 106 to go! Anyone can add me, I need all the encouragement I can get!

    I lost 92 pounds and regained it. The lose and regain took about 4.5 years. I started again in January and today the doctor told me that I'm pre-diabetic.

    Yep, ditto! I lost 80 pounds 5 years ago and gained it all back with added interest. I'm going to get this right this time and keep it off. Good luck to you all!

    It would be interesting to have a conversation on how the weight was regained. Did you weigh yourself along the way? I know in the past..the reason i regained was i didn't get on the scale.

    I started again mid-December. I tried "everything" to stop my knee pain. Then admitted to myself that getting down to a healthy weight in a healthy manner might be the answer to my knee pain. If not it certainly should help to not carry that extra 80 pounds everywhere I go! But, instead of picking 80 as my goal, I picked 20. I've worked off 8 so far.

    I started again last Tuesday. So far one good week of tracking. It seems that's the first step where I go wrong.... stop tracking.

    I regained because I found out I was pregnant and stopped tracking. Since my little one just turned one and stopped nursing I can focus on me again. I need to do this for myself, my kids and family. Finding time to exercise is not easy and it can get frustrating at times but I'm sticking with it this time. Feel free to add me as a friend. The more support and motivation we have the more successful we will be.

    Last evening was in a position where I missed supper. I didn't get home till 10P and would usually eat up everything in my kitchen. I didn't do that.

    I have been a member of MFP for years and weigh more now than I ever have. No fault of MFP because I use them every time I start over and every time I lose by counting calories. I am my own worst enemy. Starting over tomorrow and praying I have the will power and drive to make this the last time I start. Good luck everyone!!

    The journey of many miles starts out with the first step. Keep moving toward your goals!! One step at a time!!! :)
