Been having the worst 3 months of my life! Gained back 11lbs and can't seem to get back on track. Feel like giving up but I know I can't. I have a new grandson I need to be healthy for and set a good example! Help!!!!

    So sorry to hear you are struggling...11 pounds of course sucks but believe me is definitely not as bad as it could be! I lost 68 pounds then gained back roughly 35😱 currently working on recovery for my binge eating using the Brain over Binge course by Kathryn Hansen...I have 2 months as of tomorrow and am feeling strong and capable...you can do this too!

    You can do it. I gained 9 pounds in mid summer, largely from having an obscene amount of chocolate (my favorite, which luckily is in another country). When my supply was depleted, again lucky I didn't use a larger suitcase when traveling, I was shocked at the scale. That was three months ago. I'm down 12.5 pounds since then.

    I have been struggling as well. I’ve gained 8 lbs @ have really been down on myself.

    I think I’m coming to grips with knowing that my journey is life long. It’s not just about losing the weight; it’s about keeping it off & making real lifestyle changes…permanently.

    It’s nice to hear from others who struggle as well. We are not alone!

    We can do this! Hang in there!

    For me, it’s one day at a time. I need to remember why I’m doing this—to be healthy so that I can continue to lead an active life & do all the things I want to do in my retirement.

    Like going back to exercise, start back slow. Small steps make a difference.
