    yep we have to keep an eye on things even when we get to goal or we could slip in to old habits again.

    I'm the same way. I lost 45lbs a couple years ago and had a baby....I've gained it all back plus some. I'm so upset with myself. Starting crossfit today with my husband and plan on sticking with this. Add me! :)

    I always used to try and get fit for an event, like a wedding, a holiday or a school reunion. Then eat and slob when it was over, and undo all the great work I did. That's where I am right at the moment. But now I've decided to view the event as "the rest of my life" and the fitness regime I start again now, WILL BE THE NEW NORMAL GOING FORWARD - wish me luck guys!

    I too have lost, stopped, gained, rinse, repeat for over a year now. I tend to do the low/no carb which I've found is unsustainable in the long run for me. So I've decided to just eat sensibly, not denying myself anything but focusing on consuming mor healthy foods the majority of the time. Elimination diets do not work for me.

    I lost a tonne of weight in 2015 and in the last 6 months or so have put half of it back on. It sucks but life got in the way and now it's time to just dust myself off and do it all over again. You can do it! :smile: feel free to add me, I'm always happy to help/motivate anyone!

    Yep me too - I lost a bunch of weight several times, only to regain it again (plus a couple extra pounds along for the ride). I seem to get to a point where I'm almost at my goal, hit a major plateau and decide "screw it" and go off the eating less, exercising more, counting everything plan. I wonder if it's that I don't have the will to restrict my diet enough to reach an ultimate "healthy" weight for me. I can restrict it to a certain point, but let's just say I could never live a 100% "clean" lifestyle. Also I'm short so when I get to a lower weight my calories are already so low that to go even lower means 0 wiggle room. We're talking no sweets, no alcohol, nada. This time I'm setting my ultimate goal a little higher - so that I'm merely overweight, but not obese - 140lbs for me, and then assess if I should go for the extra 10-15 to put me in the "healthy weight" range.

    I've successfully lost weight numerous times with MFP but this time I'm here to stay. I'm at the heaviest I've ever been and I've finally come to the realisation that in order to lose weight and keep it off I'm going to need to continue to monitor my intake once on maintenance. If you're planning on sticking around even once the weight is gone please feel free to add me, it would be great if we could motivate each other! :smiley:

    Hey girl! I'm in the same boat. I've tried this a bunch of times, but honestly this is the first time I've added friends. It's only been a couple days so far but it's already helped SO MUCH. I have this stupid candy drawer at work and I usually take like 10 trips every day. But I didn't go once today because I had some awesome people encouraging me and motivating me to stay on track. I'm here for you if you need support or if you're having a weak moment. This will be THE time you lose the weight and keep it off
