RESTARTING OVER!! MY CONFESSION!

Posts: 17
:noway: I CAN NOT BELIEVE MYSELF! I lost 14 pounds in 2008. Then I gained back 6 pounds of that. In January of 2009 I found this web site and decided to give it a go again. I lost the 6 pounds but now ...I have put on 8 pounds!!!:mad:
So, now I am starting over again! In 2004 I went to a high of 292...and when I started trying to lose in 2008 I weighed 287.5...went down to 273.5..now Im 282.5 again! I am 5'4 and female...so I need to lose at least 100 pounds and more likely 150....at any rate I guess this is a CONFESSION OF SORTS and getting it out so maybe you guys can hold me accountable!! Im 61 years of age...thanks for listening...:sad:

Congratulations! This is the first step, welcome to this site. You are going to do great. I know that I have been at this for a little over 3 months, the longest I have ever stuck to anything. I need to lose over a 100 pounds as well. So I can relate to you.:flowerforyou:0

Thank you so much! I think this is what I need...to become more involved with others fighting the same battle!0

I'm starting over too. Better to get back on track than continue down the other path!0

you go girl! getting motivated is a good first step. you can do this! what helps me is to look at pictures (or just imagine) of what i want my body to look like (celebrities sure do help, lol!) and instead of getting depressed, i say "i'm GOING TO look like that!" just gotta keep that goal in mind at all times. good luck!!0

I hear you....it's way to easy to fall off the wagon when you don't have the support and motivation. I also have at least 100lbs to lose and want to start a walking challenge. Start small and work up from there...maybe weekly or even daily check ins.....It's hard to get in on alot of the other challenges because of the maount of weight I have to lose and getting started..Let me know what you think. Anytime you need support just call on me:flowerforyou:0
