in Introduce Yourself
I used MFP seven years ago and I successfully lost four sizes. People kept asking me my secret. I know. I sound like an infomercial. The reality it was sticking to my guns for 10 months. I watched what I ate and I walked everyday. At first I started at 30 minutes and after a few weeks I bumped it up. At the end, I was jogging. After a difficult separation and postpartum, I regained it all back. It is a blow to the ego. I want to walk up the stairs without heaving.

So I saved my pennies and bought a family vacation in 9 months. I simply can not go the way I look at the moment. Can you help me? I will help you. If you also have been back and forth. I understand your frustration.

    I've been through a small version of what you did a couple of times - lost forty pounds or so, gained it back and then some. Dropped twenty, gained it all back and then some. I'd be delighted to share mutual support.

    I can totally relate. I had lost 50 lbs about 6 years ago and have slowly put that plus more on. I’d be happy to help each other!

    Same over here! I lost 20lbs a couple of years ago and have put it back on since. I used to get so annoyed when people warned me I’d regain it but I’ve gone and proved them right!
