Starting again

I am starting over again. I lost a lot of weight and then intentional gained it back. I didn't think to myself let me gain weight. I just ate and drank and ate until I ended up back here. This time around I want to maker better food choices consistently. Excercise is not the issue, once I get started I enjoy it. Food on the other hand has held me captive. Anyone else starting again?

    Right there with you. Got within 3 lbs of my goal weight a couple years ago. Now I am the heaviest I've ever been. I too enjoy working out but I overeat. Ready to get back to my healthy lifestyle that had me in the best shape of my life. We got this!

    Hi and I'm starting again for the (who knows how many times) but I have lost in the past and for all the wrong reasons, this time I have to lose because June 7th, diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and I'm doing good on working with that, large family history of it but I have cut the sugar now it's time to lose weight and get a handle on this. I lost about 125 pounds about 15 years ago well, I've gained it all back plus another 80 and I know how I did it, I just didn't care but I don't want to feel that way any more so here I am, I'm committed to doing better. I am trying to find out is there somewhere here in myfitnesspal, there is a way to put in my levels, so I can see it as well. I know I can add to the notes but wasn't sure if there was something I'm missing. Thanks and I hope everyone is having a great day.

    I understand where you are coming from because here I am again. I used Fitness Pal a long time ago and I did lose weight but here I am again. I know I need to lose weight and keep it off. I even know how to do it. If I am going to be like my 72 year mom and go hiking in the Swiss Alps, I need to lose this weight and get healthier. I want to live the life that God has intended for me and I cant let this weight hold me back and keep my down. NOT ANYMORE!
