Starting over.

I have had luck with the site, it is wonderful! - Feel free to add me - I can help support you

Right there with ya chica! I will send you a fr!

I'm starting over also!! Need encouragement and less snacking; more activity.

I was right where you were at just three short weeks ago. Every day is the beginning of the rest of your life. You can do this!!! Congratulations on choosing you! Feel free to add me if you like!

Welcome back! Feel free to add me for support as well. That goes for anyone.

Anyone can add me, I start over often!

If thats the case then lets work together so were not starting over ever again

I know how you feel. I also started last year and fell off the wagon but I've been back for a few months and kept at it. I read health/fitness magazines, online exercise articles and listen to fitness podcasts to keep me motivated. I lost the 10lbs that I gained after quitting. Now I'm back to my starting point and always tell myself that this is the best thing I can do for myself. I'll love myself more and more each day for the right choices I make. Keep at your goal! The benefits outweighs any thing else! :flowerforyou:

I am right there with you and need all the help I can get. I have been looking at different weight loss programs online all morning trying to figure out how to get this weight off once and for all. I have a loooooooooong way to go and at this point, don't even know how or where to begin. I'll take all the help, support, and encouragement I can get!

You have taken the best step you can take!! Changing your life from that DIET world to the HEALTHY world will get you places. A diet will not last long but a healthy lifestyle will carry you a long way. You can do this!!!!Just make little changes along the way and they become habits. You will get results.....sometimes fast and sometimes slow.....but if you keep trying you can do it. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like. Good luck on your journey.

I'm eligible for adding, too!

You can do this! Sometimes it takes an absolute low point to realize that you are worth so much more...and guess what?

YOU ARE! :flowerforyou:

wow - i thought it was just me - i joined well over a year ago - had a little luck & then things at home got hectic - was taking care of my dad who developed cancer & once he moved into our home, there was no time for me to take care of me anymore. He passed last May & I promised him that I was going to get healthy and fit. As of now I still hadn't even started. i've been back to the site the last several days just to log my food and see how bad I was actually doing - not only did I gain back the weight I initially lost before he got sick but gained about an extra 20. Then last october my husband lost his job so we were down to 1 income -EXTREMELY stressful. As if that wasn't bad enough, in December (4 days before Christmas) I was forced to go the ER by my family physician because i went to the doctor thinking I had pneumonia and they would give me some meds and I would be all better. Little did I know -After x-rays and CT scans it was determined that I had 4 blood clots in my lungs & my heart had become enlarged and surrounded by fluid. I was told another 2 days and I would've probably dropped dead. (Just to note, the blood clots were determined to have been caused by my birth control (Nuvaring) and have since almost resolved at this point) Doctors orders were NO EXERCISE other than normal pace walking for 3 months because the blood clots were so large, they were afraid that one would break off and go to my brain. I wasn't able to work for almost a month after being released from the hospital. I've now received the OK to start exercising. The week I spent in the hospital, I lost 13 lbs - HOW? because they had me on low sodium diet & fluids to flush out my system plus they were feeding me all healthy foods. Well right now, the only person I have on my friends list is my sister, and while she is great support - it's obviously not enough. Today I am starting over too. To anyone and everyone who reads this and especially you, the initial poster of this thread, please add me because I too need all the help I can get. We will get there. I have 150 lbs to lose but right now i'm only going to focus on the first 10 - then once i hit that I'll focus on the next 10, etc. I think I look at 150 lbs as sooooooo overwhelming that I give up. My heart is there with you as you start over and know that I am joining you every time.

I am in the same boat, except 75 pounds to loose. I was doing really good last year and just quit too. I have been at it for 5 days now, and feel like this is the time that I am changing my life. I also just turned 35 and the milestone made me want to loose even more. I told my husband last night that instead of just focusing on loosing numbers on the scale like I normally obsess over when trying to loose, my first small goal is just to get into one size smaller. Anyway, you can add me if you want to. We can do this.
