    Another serial starter here! Here is my cycle: I start, feel awesome, eat better, workout, start dropping weight. Hit about 10 pounds lost and decide I can start paying less attention....then I’m back to eating way past my hunger and I put it all back on. I know this is my pattern and I want to stop

    Story of my life. 9-10 years ago I made the decision to lose weight and lost around 120lbs. Kept it off until I had my twins in 2011. Since then I have lost and gained a million times and I just need to get my attitude in check. I NEED this to be the last time. I am back up to 216 lbs, would love to be under 200 by Christmas!
    Today is a new day. Nothing can stop me from reaching my goals except myself, and I'm not sabotaging myself anymore.
    Add me if you would like!! Let's do this!!!!

    Same here! Though in reality, I just keep getting pregnant within 30 days of restarting at MFP. This is my third try, and I'm crossing my fingers for no babies anytime soon.

    I also have done this before. I lost 160 about 10 years ago doing WW. I gained over 100 back. This time around I've lost 25 lbs. Not feeling as motivated as I did a few months ago but not going anywhere.

    I've decided to keep track of what I eat everyday, for 7 days. I haven't been the best at keeping track of these things but I hit 140 yesterday and I never expected to be back in the 140's. This week I am just going to eat whatever. I want to see how much I actually eat in a week. After the end of the week, I will start adjusting my diet according to my results. I've never kept track of my diet without adjusting it first. I think that makes me feel better about myself because those few days I am logging, I make sure I'm eating healthy. But just because I log a healthy day, doesn't mean I have a healthy week/month. Wish me luck! Feel free to add me. I haven't got any friends on here because I'm too shy to add Facebook friends.

    We could set up a MFP group for us. Keep us on the right path and maybe some fun weekly challenges- would anyone be interested?

    I'm the same, keep starting, losing 10 lbs ish them going straight back up again. Ten years and two children later I'm exactly the same weight as I was when I started. Two days into it this time, cw - 156, gw- 135 and alot of exercise needed. I have a wedding to go to in February and want to look good!

    I need to get back into a healthy routine. Lots of life changes have me sluggish and making poor eating choices. Lost 10 pounds before my wedding in August and gained at least 5 back already. Went from a job where I constantly traveled to working from home. Help keep me out of my pantry!

    When I first joined I went from 180 to 160, then get preggers with #3. 9 years later, I reached 203! I'm 5'4", and am showing symptoms of prediabetes, in addition to fighting depression. I cut the breads, pastas, refined sugars 3 weeks ago, and am feeling so much better. Im down 7 lbs, and have so much energy.
    This time feels different. I'm eager to workout, and actively working on having a good mindset. I'm determined to eat healthy.
    I'm supportive, but I also needs support too. I'm building a new friend network, since it's been awhile since I've been on MFP. Feel to add me.

    This is my third or fourth time staring. 5'5" female, CW 230 lbs (GW 150). I've lost 20 lbs so far. Looking at it as a lifestyle change and not a diet seems to be working. I'm not cutting out any of my favorite foods, I'm just eating them in moderation. I want this to be sustainable. I don't want to go back.
