I need to find the motivation for a do over, I gained back the 40 lbs I lost 2 years ago

I was down 40 lbs... Then I went on vacation... I am now up almost half of what I lost, I'm SO mad at myself for allowing it to happen, yet, like you, I wake up every morning with good intentions, and then as the day goes in, I start to over snack... How do we make ourselves accountable! I to need to do this for health…

One is my before picture, the other is during.. This shows 40 lbs off, but still have about 25 to go... It's been almost a year, I sort of fell off the wagon during the holidays, but am back at it to get those next lbs off and feel good again! At least I maintained through the holidays!…

This was the same reason, basically Dr orders... I spent about 3 weeks ticked off at the Dr, feeling tired when I thought, she's right... I started tracking, exercising and work real hard on willpower... It's tough, I still have days ( this week I baked, and indulged, and only lost 1/3 of a pound ) I made a lifestyle…

I am 5' starting at 180.3 middle of March and am down to 147. I've made a lifestyle change, I track my calories and exercise via elliptical or walking and just started with a kettle ball , I don't consider it a diet, and I'm not doing anything that I won't be able to do the rest of my life! Before, and where I'm at now…

I had a reduction 8-1/2 years ago, the surgeon told me if I lost weight they would get smaller ( never liked having DD's ) after surgery I was a 38 C , I've only lost 27.5 lbs ( 32.8 to go ) and I'm about ready to try a 36 C ( I'll have to try them on) they lack drooping just because I had a great surgeon , but they are…

That's what I like about this app, I can eat whatever I want, but I've really learned what keeps me full longer. I don't snack non stop anymore because I'm satisfied. If I really want to indulge, I exercise more to earn the calories. I'm down 21.8 lbs in 11 weeks!

I'm usually a lurker too lol I started logging every bite, it's really opened my eyes to my non stop snacking especially on treats brought in to work! I still eat what I want and log, but I really ask myself if those calories are really worth it now thanks to keeping myself accountable, some days totally worth it! Lol I've…

This is good to know! I've lost the majority of my weight thus far ( 20 lbs so far 40 to go ) from my backside.. I've dropped from a 16 to a 12... Think I'll go try jeans on there!

I've lost 17.5 lbs so far and just went from a really tight 16, to a 12, but my weight came off my butt and legs first.

I am down 16.3 lbs, it seems I've lost it in my butt and legs... I see no difference, but I've gone down 2 pant sizes. My husband and kids see it, but that's about it. I feel SO much better since starting MFP and exercising!! And this time I am doing this for me and my health!! Congratulations on your weight loss! Keep up…

Great job!!

This gives me a lot of inspiration! I am 5' and started at 180.2, I am 3 weeks in, ( I weigh on Thursday so that will be 4 weeks) and am down to 171.1.. It feels good! I no longer mindlessly snack! I really think about the goals ahead of me, and I make smarter choices! I use my elliptical, and do crunches and leg lifts so…

I did 20 & 25 today, and on everyone's rest day tomorrow,I will be doing 30 & 35 then to catch up! This is as well as my 65 min of cardio on my elliptical... We've got this!

I could use the motivation, didn't have the best day :( so I'm in!

I'm on day 18 of my new lifestyle, I really needed to read this today! Great inspiration!

Good job!

Impressive!! Congratulations!

I'm a tight 16... Trying to remind myself it took 24 yrs to put the weight on, it won't come off overnight! Feel like the crunches will help tone...

I'm in ! I'm only on week 3, I weigh in for the 3rd time Thursday, I'm down 6.2 lbs thus far... I have a 60lb goal, anyone know when I might actually begin to notice my clothes getting bigger? Lol

I have the same problem! This week I brought in fruit and made a fruit basket... But there was still stuff in the chocolate drawer... A back of chips and some guacamole came out, I ate 5 chips and a T of guacamole, but logged it... I'm tired of the constant temptation.
