Hang in there. Tears are ok. But sounds like you are getting back into the mindset to move to be healthy again, and that's what's important. I didn't do well with the last two years either, but decided I'm ready to do something about it again, so here I am! You can do this!

Right there with you! Congrats on getting started!

Do you weigh and log absolutely everything you eat?

I’m 5’1” and have about 15-20 lbs to go to get to my goal.

Way to go! I’m in a similar spot. 27 lost, 20 to go. We can do this!

I understand. I was doing so great, maintaining a loss that had put me close to my goal for a couple years, and when I lost my loved one, I lost my motivation and gained more than half back.

I’m 5’1” and I am currently at 157. I started at 184 and made it to 132 a few years ago, but after some life struggles went back up to 167. My goal is 120!
