Hi. This is a cry for help to any of you who did great when you first shot out of that weight loss gate and then just slowed down to the point that your scale started moving in the opposite direction. I haven't quit, I just need to strengthen my resolve. I've lost 76lbs and dropped like 6 dress sizes. I know that's nothing short of amazing. Especially for me, who up until about 10 months ago actually believed that skinny people who worked out all the time were nuts. There is SO MUCH great food out there and all those skinny people were missing out on some great enjoyment. Then I had a wake-up call in the form of an anxiety attack and that made me start to think about my daughters and how I didn't want them to have the same life I did- home alone on a Friday night with not a single boyfriend to take out the fat chick in class. I dropped those 76lbs in about 8 months and now I am at a stand still. I'm a stress eater and have not fully learned how to break the habit. And I've lost my drive but not my desire. Have any of you had this happen? How did you get back on track and reach your goals? I want that same fire that I had when I first started. PLEASE HELP!!!

    You've come so far and done such a great job would be a shame not to finish. You know what you need to do and I think you know that you can do it! + not as far to go as you've already come! You are being a great example for your daughters by getting healthy : )

    Over the last several weeks I have been in the same position. I gained about 4 lbs. I woke up on Monday and told myself, back on track I go. But it is easier said than done. I know that I do not ever want to go back to where I was and I hope this continues to be my motivation. Just think of where you were a year ago and where you are now, do you really want to start to creep back to that person? Both you and I know what to do, or we would not of lost so much weight!!! So lets do it!!!
