Hello Everyone!!! I am excited about being back on here but scared of failure too at the same time. I had a baby two years ago and after a year of the "it's baby weight" excuse, I discovered MFP and did well but never came on the message boards for support from other members, which I obviously needed because after months of doing well I stopped using MFP. I never got on a scale since I stopped, which was around May, because I knew I would not like what I saw. Well this past Sunday, I do not know why, maybe because I was still drunk from the night before lol, I got on the scale and I gained 10 pounds in those 5 months!! I wanted to cry but of course that will not shed the pounds so I decided to start over but with the support of other members so I do not slip up again. Please add me and thank you in advance. :smile:

    You've made the first step in the long road to turning it all around. keep up the good work and don't lose heart for the setback of the last 5 months I did almost the exact same thing. Now after a month and a half I'm almost back down to my starting weight and I'm making huge gains in the fitness department. You can do it too.

    Hello. Well I am starting over for the.......oh whos counting. :) I also never went to the message boards because I figured I could do it on my own and was too embarrassed. I have gone to the message boards and started many times to reach out and came up with ever excuse not too. So let me say thank you for your post, it is very encouraging. With determination and hard work we can do this.

    Welcome back from another 'repeat' customer! I did really well on MFP, stopped doing it for some unknown reason, but now I'm back on. I have managed to lose 4 more lbs just by joining in the last few weeks. I had lost 13 lbs on a diet before and wanted to keep the momentum up. MFP definitely helps.

    One thing that has helped me is to always be honest and track all your food. Even if you go over. Stay on the boards and know that we are all working together for the same goal.

    Welcome again! Trying again means you really want it!
    You listed reasons why it didn't work out last time, you know them now and you can try to avoid them! I'd be happy to support you reaching your goals! Good luck!
