Hi Folks! 25/F/Oregon married student - need to lose 70+

Hi everyone!

So here's the basics:

I lost 80 lbs back in 2006 and kept it off until last year. Then... prepare to hear something you've NEVER heard before....I gained most of it back :,,,(

So now I'm just looking to get back on track, get back into my nice clothes that mock me from their storage boxes, and get back to being a maintainer.

Is anyone here similar stats to me and looking for a partner in crime? (by crime, of course I mean KILLING millions of calories off of my body :)

I'm 25, married, a veteran, currently a college student studying business and public relations.
I'm 5 foot 6, currently weigh 235, and am looking to get down to 160/150.

If you are so inclined and/or have a similar journey to make, friend me/link me to your blog/read mine :)

    I'll partner with you in killing calories! :) Recently regained half of what I'd recently lost ... trying to get my momentum back to where it needs to be. I've got a good 24 to re-lose and 26 more after that. LET'S DO THIS!

    Hi, I'm like you. I'm 5 foot 3, Currently weigh 231, and am looking to get down to 160/150.
    I had tried last year by WW, but ended up getting saturated and desisitir. He had lost 34 pounds. And I'm back, alive and well! I'm new here. You use a tool such as Fitbit? I am considering buying.
    Good luck to us!

    Hello!

    @ChaiDi -

    For some reason the re-losing is not nearly as exciting for me as the losing was. I'm really going to have to work to stay motivated now that it isn't the first round - which is why I'm looking for a community this time :)

    @bethhle31 -

    I thought about trying to to WW@work, but didn't want to learn the point system after all the calories of things I'd memorized. I've been looking at the Fitbit too though. I never really thought about it before logging on to this site, but it sounds like it might be a really good tool.

    If only it would give me a swift electroshock every time I pick up a cookie. Then we'd be in business :)

    That's a really serious start for only being on the wagon for two weeks! Good job!
