Hi there. I've been on MFP for a few years now. I had lost about 90 pounds over the course of a year and a half, but then life got crazy last fall and I've gained back some 30 odd pounds of that since then. I logged in every day, but hadn't necessarily logged food over a 10 month period. Life is continuing to explode, so I think I've just adjusted to the new pace of crazy. But getting to the upper limit of the few outfits in my closet that still fit (gave away all the bigger stuff last year) coupled with two consecutive weeks of wisdom tooth extractions (hello mush diet...blech!) and I got the swift kick in the butt that I needed to get back in gear. I've already lost 4 pounds since that first extraction 3 weeks ago. I have a long way to go to get to goal and am in for the long haul. I would love to have some new buddies and motivators to add to my list!

Please feel free to add me.

    Hey I am going to be 37 2 weeks from today. I lost 40 pounds 2 years ago jyst counting calories and lofgobg my food and getting more active. Since then I have gained about 10 of those pounds back and my goal was to have it off by my birthday. I'm 2 weeks away from my bday so obviously 10 pounds isn't coming off by then. I'm looking for help and motivation and ideas to try to get a few pounds off by then. I'm back to feeling self conscious and don't want my husband touching me. I'm 5'5" and 167 pounds now. My goal is to be 150 to 155 in the end. Please help :( I'm back to wearing the bigger clothes in my closet as well. Meanwhile the cute stuff is wasting away.

    Maybe we could motivate each other. Your story stood out to me.
