Happy Tuesday friends. How is everyone this week? @AbandondedKSCharger I am at 202 today, getting closer to that first goal of ‘being under 200’ which I am determined to do before June 1. Then I NEVER plan to see my weight start with a 2 again!4

welcome new restarts! I'm sending friend requests, hope I haven't missed anyone. I made it a week, now for the next one!4

I, too, am starting for the 88th time. Except it's probably my 888th time at this point lmao. My name is Ihi (pronounced ee-hee). I'm 32 years old and I have about 200lbs to lose if I'm going for my ultimate goal weight. I currently weigh about 412lbs. My short-term goal is to get under 400lbs. I am hoping to reach that goal by the end of May.
I'm feeling optimistic about it this time!5 -
I am restarting for the 41st time and could use all the help and support I can get - please feel free to add me!2

Our mind is very powerful. We have to strongly believe in the changes we are wanting to make and know why.
Happy May Day everyone!! It's a new month great time for re-starts5 -
You sound a lot like me, except this is my millionth time! haha Feel free to add me anyone0

Pleasant surprise after eating too much for lunch. Still have 650 calories for dinner. Yay me!4

By popular demand ... "I am Back"
I shall do my best to not make this another false dawn and hopefully I shall meet some folks and have some fun on the way.
I'm a fifty something based in the UK and looking to loose a few pounds before my upcoming wedding in early July ... the Duchess and I have been engaged for 23 years and now the time feels right to make it official.
I will weigh in tonight and probably scale around 280 lb ... I'm not looking at putting a target on weight loss before the event (anything would be nice) but ultimately I would like to get down to around 175 lb
So in order to achieve this
(1) I'm back on MFP
(2) Knocked booze on the head
(3) Trying to eat sensibly and log everything
(4) Getting more exercise and maybe trying C25K again
Short term goals
(1) Stop thinking about lunch
(2) Take a walk round the blok early this evening
(3) Find my fitbit
Happy to receive any support going so feel free to add me if you wish ... as always my posts will be honest, observational, not limited to my journey, from the heart and hopefully entertaining.6 -
To everyone on this thread... It doesn't matter how many times you jump back into the game, the important fact is - you do!5

Welcome all! I agree with @anothermfpuser, it doesn't matter how many times we jump back in, we are here and we can do this.2

@BrendanScrote I love your story!!! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I bet you will have success We're glad you are here with us. I am also working on ...well for me reducing, not omitting, my alcohol consumption. Another great thread for that is called Less Alcohol May Challenge.
It's Friday…….any goals to stay focused on the weekend!! Mine is to get 20 minutes of intentional exercise in both days.
Have a great one what ever you do!1 -
I just starting again as well ... my first time here I got to goal easily really... but then I couldn’t figure out how to maintain.. now I am back again and feel friends and accountability are both good for succeeding.0

Welcome all new posters and hi to any lurkers, you are most welcome too!
So, I did my weekly review, no weight loss; but, I honestly logged every day and got out for 2 short walks in the past 7 days. Remember, I said small steps. To be honest, I had hoped to see a slight movement in my weight as my daily calorie average worked out to 1226/ day (my goal is 1200). I have an old scale so it only weighs in 1 lb increments, so I am being hopeful that perhaps I will see some scale movement in the next few days. I do believe my waist on my jeans is looser, or is that hopeful imagination 🤣.
@AbandondedKSCharger good mini goal, if I may, I think I will try your goal of 20 minute of exercise each day, mine will be a walk! I will report in Monday, good luck!
@BrendanScrote yep, I am also trying to reduce alcohol intake. Only had 6 Oz of wine last night with dinner, ugggh, I know my mantra is small steps, but really!!!
Good luck to everyone this weekend, I don’t know about you, but I find weekends a real challenge, cheers Marian3 -
So... I am back at it again today! Need to loose 120 to reach my goal. First time on the blogs and happy to see that I am not the only one that is starting again.... Just need to keep in mind that it's for my health and to be able to have fun doing active stuff! So here is to today starting again... Cheers!0

Hello everyone! Restarter here with ya. Started in 2011, came back last year and now I'm back...again😄 Desperately need friends to keep going!0

Welcome to the new returners!0

Happy Monday Eveyone! I hope you all had a successful and enjoyable weekend. I was successful and got out for a walk both Saturday and Sunday, which was a mini goal which @AbandondedKSCharger set for herself. Thanks again to @AbandondedKSCharger for the idea. How did you do @AbandondedKSCharger?
Update on my ‘small steps’ plan:
Log my diary, honestly everyday - yep, did it
Hit my daily calorie goal - did it 5 days, it was the red wine On the weekend! 🤣
So next small step for this week
Up my daily water intake to 8 c/day
Walk at least 4 days out of seven for a minimum of 20 minutes each walk
No daily weighing on the scales this week, they are my enemy and demotivator - I will weigh at the end of the week.
I wish I was moving faster but at least I am moving. How is everyone else doing?
Cheers, Marian
