Hi all,

I'm 29 years old from the UK and I guess the title says it all :)

I used MyFitness Pal religiously for about a year and got down from 175lbs to 131lbs, but at the start of Dec 2011 I got complacent and stopped logging foods, cut my gym time back and well, here I am 5 months later and 19lbs heavier- a real shock when I first stepped back on the scales! Started logging food again a few days ago and I can see that snacking on chocolate is one of the main culprits, I also need to go to the gym more (currently twice a week).

Last time around I went solo but I'd love to add a few friends to keep me motivated this time, hopefully we can support each other :)

    Add me too! I'm 20 lbs heavier and I don' t even know how I got here... More eating of course... Food is good! LOL but logging your foods does help you see what you're doing.

    Same thing happened to me. I had lost 50lb on Weight Watchers for a friend's wedding and afterwards I relaxed. Six months later I had gained 32 lb! :/ I knew it, but for some reason I didn't stop it. So here I am!

    Well I guess we are in the same boat! My fitness pal is great and it is nice to have friends to hold you accountable and motivate you. I'm more of an emotional eater with a sweet tooth. I'm getting better though little by little:)

    Feel free to add me because I don't have just a sweet tooth, I have sweet teeth. LOL That has been and probably will always be my weak link. We could all use as much support that we can get, so I'l give as much as I can.

    Hi, I have the same problem. Sweets absolutely consume my thoughts! I'm new to this, hoping I can stick to it. I lost almost 100 pounds 5 years ago, and have picked 50 of it back up during the last 3. Lots of stress, night shift, and lack of willpower. Hoping to make a change, so sick of myself! I could use some support also!

    Same here - lost 60 pounds - but stuck in this 10 up 10 down rut - just want to keep going down for a change - need to log every day or I just don't realize how much I am stuffing into my mouth. Add me for supoort - we can all do this together:smile:

    Me too... I did the exact same thing. This time last year I was nearing my goal, then summer came and I let myself go, stopped going to the gym, started eating out more and snacking. Now I'm right back up to 178 where I started in January 2011. I really would like to be about 135 again. Just started back this week. I do better with some accountability.
