I have to again!

Options
Hello there:) I'm starting out on this weight loss road once more and I really feel like 2012 will be my year to finally lose weight and get into shape and make healthier choices! I know people who know me may think 'oh here we go again' in fact I am tempted to think that of myself. It is crushing when you go to the scales and realise you're going to have to start ALL over again but I want to be positive and just press on. My 30th birthday is in June and I feel like I can really make some great progress by then. I want to buy a new dress (the first dress I have bought for myself in like 8 years other than my wedding dress!) and twirl around in it on that day! I would welcome any support I can get and am very interested in other people's weight loss journeys! hopefully chat to some people very soon! :)

    i was on and off on this site starting in august of 2010. it wasn't until i discovered the message boards and started making a community here, that i really became dedicated. reading about what others have experienced and helping others really makes a difference.

    good luck!

    Hey lovely sister, if I can get so far you definitely can!! You can still enjoy yourself and eat a little of what you like but it's all about balance.
    You will look beautiful on your birthday and I will be with you every step of the way. Love you! xx

    Birthdays are a great motivater. I have the same problem with the up and down and I think your right when you said just push thoughts like 'here we go again' out of your mind. I've been feeling that way since my birthday week sent my weight back up 4kg. Its taken 2 weeks but I think I've lost 3 of them now. You've just got to get back on the wagon hahaha. Add me as a friend if you like?
