So i did this last year. From March to August, I lost 35 lbs. I was so proud of myself. I thought it was so easy, I didn't need help anymore. I could do it on my own. From August to December, I not only gained back the 35, I added another 10. I'm now officially 101 lbs overweight! UGH~ I'm starting out slow this time. I won't be hard on myself and I won't let people make me feel bad because I'm not eating seaweed chips and exercising 80 hours a week. I'm going to do it at my own pace and it WILL stick this time. No more knocking over tables (or my children) with my fat *kitten* anymore!! lol I will lose this weight, and keep it off this time!~!!

2 things I learned from MFP....you can't do it on your own. You have to have support from a community of people that are going through the same struggles and reaching the same goals.
I also learned to not listen when people tell me I look so good, I could stop where I'm at and be happy. I hope I never get satisfied with the way I look. I will always strive to eat healthier, look better, and feel happier~~

Please add me as a friend if you read this and are in the same boat as me. The support is the most important part!

    Today is my restart day! I kinda lost my way & let life's stresses get to me. Didn't think falling into old habits would be that easy after all of the time & effort I put in. My first workout of the year is set for this evening.

    We all have strayed from the path on our journey to healthier living. The thing is to get back on the path! :laugh: Let me know if I can help in any way.

    I very much wanted to start my work outs this week, but the holiday gatherings brought a terrible cough and cold with it. The glares you get at the gym when you have a sniffle is discouraging in itself. LOL
