Hi

I'm back on MFP after being really unsuccessful watching my weight on my own. I'm 5 foot 2 (if I stand up really straight), and 33 years old, from Manchester, UK.

I joined at the beginning of the year having hit 80kg, and with the goal of my sister's wedding in April. I managed to get down to 74kg for the wedding, not as low as I would have liked, but low enough to look good in my bridesmaid dress.

After the wedding I just never got back in to the swing of calorie counting, and the naughty habits (like eating a bag of sweets with my hubby in the evening) crept back in.

Last week I hit the 80kg marker again, and I'm desperate to drop my weight again.

I'm a really active person - I cycle a 15 mile round-trip to work 5 days a week, and swim any chance I get (at least an hour at a time, up to 3 times per week in open-water season), and we spend a lot of our free-time as a family out walking. I love to run (slowly) too, but at this weight I'm concious of the effect it's having on my joints.

I'd love to find some friends to motivate me and shout at me when I over-do the Haribos :blushing:

    hey, i have done exactly the same thing, lost over a stone then went into some sort of daze and forgot my goals!
    I have only just come back this week after a 6 month break, and after putting on nearly all the weight i lost!
    maybe we can keep eachother motivated?
    its so easy to lose concentration, but im sure you can keep focused this time :) gl
