Looking for motivation and accountability.

    OMG it is like i have written this! I am absolutely devestated that i have let myself go over the last 2 years and almost back to where i started. I have piled on the weight like it's going out of fashion!! I'm worried for my health and well being so i have started logging properly today. I have to do this. Please everyone feel free to friend me :)

    I hear ya! I think a lot of users here are or were in a similar boat. I was 290ish and got down to 245 purely based on running and not changing my lifestyles and then ended up at 350 a couple years later... now at 237 and dropping. There's lots of good posts about how to change it and your habits/lifestyle decisions. I feel like I'm getting it right this time around! Hope to see you around MFP!

    You are so not alone. I restarted a few months ago and was in a similar position, having gotten back up to my highest ever weight even though I was fairly active (just eating horribly). I'm halfway back to my goal and so happy that I made the decision to start focusing on all aspects of my health again.

    Me too! Was 244lbs went down to 165 and went back up to 232 (lots of stress) and am now back to 215. This time around weight is not coming off as fast as it used to. It’s frustrating. I have been trying Intermittent fasting ... it’s been working pretty good, but that’s just me. Wishing you motivational energy.✨✨✨

    for me, success has been all about using the food scale and logging what I eat.

    when I skip logging, or use my eyes to portion my meals, it doesn't take more than a week for the weight to start creeping back on.

    I've lost 40-50 lb three times in my life (separated by about 10 year). You know how to lose weight...so get back to it! Then learn how to keep it off :)

    I went from 196 to 150 and now back at 170 after losing a few kg. Mad at myself as well but at least we know we can do it! It may be more frustrating, but it's less preparation the second time around. Just got to commit!

    Wow, 157 that is some achievement, I'd say if you can do it once you can do it again.
    I hope to follow in your footsteps, I'm currently 228 and 157 would be good.

    Bright side: you’re taking control before getting all the way up to your earlier start!! You’ll get get below 200 before you know it and be on your way back down. Good job getting in check now rather than later!!
