Hey there friends!
I’m starting over my health journey after falling off it for 2 years. Would love to find some like minded people to join me in this weight loss journey

    The only advice I can give is log everything you eat no matter what it is. You are human and no one is perfect at this. When you mess up just get back on immediately. Finding people that are the same journey has helped me.

    I too have been where you are and started fresh in January and so far as long as I stay consistent with logging /drinking water and getting some exercise I have been able to loose some weight now. You can do this!!!!

    I am starting over too. Lost 73 pounds. In the last year I have gained 35 back. I just ate a ton of birthday cake. I don't know why, know I am sick to my stomach and way over calories and still need to have dinner:( Feel free to friend me.

    I am starting again, also. I had lost 70 pounds and loved using my cell phone to track calories on MFP but then my cell phone would no longer support the app. Got hard to run and find a computer to keep up on MFP and gained back 15 pounds. Watched the scale and started to get too close to 200, so I am back again. Tracking on computer. Very inconvenient after using the phone for over a year. Love to scan those UPC's. Need to save some $ to replace my old phone, I guess.

    In the meantime, I am logging on paper. If I don't I feel like I will forget what I have consumed. Then in evening have to use MFP on computer to check to see how close I have gotten to my calorie limit. But for now, guess that is best way for me to stay on track.

    I'm In the same boat. I just need to get down to 270 or 280 range but when I hit like 305 I get to comfortable and then its back to my old habits I'm want to kick *kitten* this time.

    I am starting all over again myself. I have been logging everyday and going to the gym almost everyday, since the elliptical is low impact, it makes it possible. Trying to eat better too. I have to say, this week has been a good week. I am happy to be doing this.....again.

    Starting over again as well. Lost 45 lb then gained about 30 back over 3 years. I always start off strong but can’t keep up the motivation or consistency. Hopefully this time is different.

    I'm in the same group- lost 58 pounds before and slowly gained it all back...I want to add people but I'm new to MFP and don't know how!
