I have struggled with my weight for ten years. About 3 years ago I lost 50 pounds. I am 5'8" and 244 pounds now. I had gotten down to 202 two years ago. I still go to the gym at least 3 times a week. I am a little frustrated and can't understand why I can't just accept me for me. How do I get back to the healhy lifestyle?

    I never stopped exercising after the loss. Just frustrated, thanks for the support.

    The way I'd look at it, is - are you in a healthy BMI range for your height/weight now? Do you have more muscle mass after exercising? (that will add more lbs on the scale)... those are really the questions you need answered... not so much the # on the scale... and it is a frame of mind - are close friends agreeing with you or are you just being extremely critical of yourself? Possibly you had a specific # on the scale in mind and did not meet it? Take some pics - they tell a lot, and sometimes we can't see what others see... you need to be happy with you. I know I just want to feel good in all kinds of clothes and be a healthier person all around.. not sure if that helped or not but I feel your frustration. Hope you can find your answer here....
