    In the same boat you are! Have gained 10 pounds, really struggling with self control. I recently changed jobs and am much more sedentary than I used to be, so I'm working through how to get more calorie burn.

    Welcome back to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Note : buy a food scale.

    Good luck with your journey!

    Back again myself after 8 months of illness and another 35lb on :# , 8 weeks post surgery so looking forward to getting back in control of my weight and my fitness - good luck with your weight loss journey :-)

    Good luck! I know it can be daunting, but how we frame our actions is so important. Like you said, being sick and tired of being sick and tired can be one hell of a catalyst.

    I'm also recommitting to my health. I gained about 30 lbs over the last year (I blamed it on being "busy" - working full time, grad school, and a relationship). Only 6 months left in grad school, single again, and now more determined than ever to take care of myself.

    Cheers to us for being accountable and taking control of our lives. :)

    I could have written your message, except the "for good" part. Just diagnosed with Pre diabetes but only .1 away from diabetes. Have been sick the past 2 years but starting to feel better than I was. Also writing my healthy grocery list as I have had 2 weeks vacation and am headed back to work on Monday. Want to use up what food I still have in the house first, nothing horrible. Just want a clean slate and love that September 1st starts on a Monday as I am nerdy like that.

    Back again myself, recommitting to calorie counting and getting myself off the couch more. Work from home and do way too much sitting, which has cause me hip flexor issues. Add the weight I have gained and it is a recipe for pain. Stress has definitely played a part in my weight gain, work, moves, aging parents and grieving their loss.
