Again.....

I've used MFP to keep track of myself, when I'm actually on track. BUT....I let things upset my apple cart ENTIRELY too easily and am stuck in a vicious cycle!! I'll lose ~40lbs or so, feel great, then let some dumb *kitten* *kitten* it up as I start dangling off the wagon. So now I'm back...after gaining all my weight back....AGAIN. Thought...maybe I could use more support than just those around me. No idea why I think strangers will be able to encourage me more than friends...but...we'll see. :)

    Hi! I’m in a similar situation, starting over after falling off the wagon multiple times. Maybe having someone for accountability will help. I have about 70 lbs to lose. Add me if you want to help each other stay on track!

    It seems to be a yearly cycle for me...for probably 4 years now! It's craziness. Hopefully I can be over it already!

    HI, I'm back again, too. Trying to do better, especially at recording food and paying attention to "macros". I'm told those are important :) Hope to have success this time!

    I'm the same way! I was doing really well with maintaining and then (BOOM!) fell off that wagon. I'm looking for accountability friends, too.

    There's some stat floating around (probably a myth) that 95% of people of people who lose weight put it all back on again.

    I say to hell with that, you guys above, be the 5%

    One of these days.....I WILL be in that 5% dang it!!!

    So I totally bombed on my eating plan yesterday... one too many cookouts and I caved. UGh. However, I'm trying to get back on track and not let it lead me on a bad path for the whole week, as it has in the past. Wish me luck lol Hope everyone else had a great weekend.
