It always sucks when you fall off the wagon, but im back ( with an added 8 pounds, go me) and am ready to get my butt into ONEderland. The last time I was here I got down from 245 to 208, and somebody PLEASE tell me why i quit trying so close to my goal?? I have a family reunion in February in Vegas, and would like to feel great about myself while being around my family. ALso, im surprizing my husband of 4 years with renewing our vows, and I just want to be confident, happy and completely focused on changing my life for the better. Thanks for the support guys, I need it!

    I'm back today too :) I was doing really well, then had a few weekends of partying/eating/drinking etc and then just couldn't find the motivation to get back on track. Hopefully this time I will stick to it!!

    Try to go easy on yourself! I have fallen off the band wagon myself a couple of times, but at least you are back. You can do it, you've done it before :flowerforyou:

    you really didnt gain that much back. I gained it all back! so just know your here now and we will help with motivation. i found a post the other day that said when you have been doing this for 3 or 4 months you want to give up because you are tired of doing it. that is when you need to dig in your heels!

    You have to come to realize that his is a life style change. If you do not change your habits you will gain the weight back! This only took me 40 something years to get it through my head!

    We are so glad you came back! Get serious and make the changes you need to do.

    "Fall seven times; stand up eight."

    Glad you're back. I too, am starting over. I am really hoping to bust in to the next lower set of numbers (the 150s, for me) soon.

    You can do it! Lets look at the positive, you are back and ready to do something about it before it got too out of hand and you started at square one. Kudos for you coming back, and feel free to add me as a friend I can offer you support! :) You got this :)

    Right there with ya! I lost 115 pounds last year and then proceeded to gain 36 back over the last six stress-filled months! Spent some time upset with myself. And then, yesterday, I woke up and decided to stop dwelling on it and just get busy again. As people here have said, what's done is done. This is your new starting weight. Now get busy. I still plan to lose 20 by the end of the year and the remaining 10+ by the end of January! Good Luck to you!

    Someone said to me...when you realize and re-focus; you are recovering from a lapse. The realization and recommitment keep it from becoming a collapse.
