HeEey y'all I'm back!

Ok, true, I never quite went all the way "away" but I pretty much fell off the grid in November, stopped logging my food/exercise about a week before Thanksgiving, and guess what, I gained back 8 lbs since then. :angry: So, here I am! :laugh:

I don't know what it is, but something about February/March really gets me motivated and kicks my butt into gear. Something with winter/spring. This is the same time as last year when I originally joined MFP. So while I had lost a total of 46 lbs, I gained 8 back, so I'm here with a loss of 38, looking to lose another 20 + lbs. What is my end goal? A bikini :tongue: I don't really have a weight goal per se, just a guesstimate of where I'd like to be.

So here's to another go around!

    Hi Jill,
    Your thread could have been written by me. That is exactly what happened to me! And I also started the weight loss last year, I joined MFP in March. I gained some back, and am so mad! (I refuse to change my ticker!) but I have got to get my butt back in gear! I had so many goals, that I achieved, and now need new ones.
    Good luck, and you can keep in touch with me (might keep me on the straight and narrow!)
    :flowerforyou: Jennifer

    Hello .... way to go on your past success, I am sure you can get to that bikini. I am brand new just starting my journey, here at MFP and I have along WAAAAY to go...:smile: But I am hoping this will make the difference, where I have failed in the past.... So GOOD LUCK to ALL of US:drinker:

    welcome back, I have only been on here for a month so you probably don't know who I am, but good luck.

    Thanks guys! It feels good to be back, like I re-taking control again. I also don't feel guilty so much from the having no idea what I'm eating...

    Jen, we can do this! (now if only I could convince myself to exercise, hahahahaha)
