I lost 35 pounds five years ago when my husband and I went to Jamaica to celebrate our 20th anniversay. I wore a bikini and actually looked great! I was so confident and happy. When we got home, I relaxed and gained a few pounds....then I gained a few more pounds....then just a few more and now here I am five years later looking at the scales and seeing that I have gained 25 pounds back from the 35 that I lost before we went to Jamaica. How did I let this happen? I worked so hard to lose that weight. Poor, poor me., poor fat, unatractive old me.......NO, I am not going to have a pitty party, it is time to get back on track! I want to feel GREAT again......so get out the workout clothes, pick up the wieghts, jump on the tread mill, girl, because here I go again!!!

    Good luck! It's so easy to gain just a few at a time. Hope you kept that bikini :)

    My husband and I leave for our 10th wedding anniversary celebration in Jamaica in 3 weeks. I know I'm going to eat more than I usually do at home. I'm going to enjoy myself and deal with the consequences when we return. Thanks to MFP and all the wonderful people here, I WILL DO IT!

    That's right! just get back up, dust yourself off and get moving again! You can do it and you will feel good, too!

    Been there, done that. It is SO completely frustrating. I'm so frustrated with my weight that I finally put a very unattractive picture of me, plainly showing off my big fat belly, on the fridge. It has helped somewhat. :-) Do you have a picture of yourself in that bikini? Maybe try putting that on display as your motivation.
