I would suggest reflecting on WHY you started your amazing journey in the first place to lose 60lbs---find your inspiration within because you did it the first time around, and you can regroup and do it again! Also, do not short change yourself for putting the brakes on with a 30lbs gain. You could have turned a blind eye…

I'm a September 7th bride and all of this is very stressful, so I realize what you're going through. Hang in there and please feel free to add me :)

you gotta meal-to-meal on this one. Just try make the rest of the day great. Drink lots of water and try to get a workout in!

I'm getting married September 7th with my final dress fitting on July 17th. I am looking to lose about 10lbs between now and then. It's so hard being on this serious time crunch!

you need to recommit to this new life every single day. Look at old pics, remind yourself WHY you started. You just have to keep going!

Incredible! :)

Wonderful success :)

Whoa! amazing and inspiring :)

Inspiring!!! :) congrats :)

My fav---and I have this in my cubicle at work : "Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out"

Regroup. It happens to the best of us. Dwelling on it can only make you feel worse. Sometimes we cannot take things day-to-day and we need to take them meal-to-meal. This is just one moment in your life. Keep moving forward! :)

I think home cooked meals would help as you can be mindful of what is going into it and you can track it. Just make sure you're eating a balanced diet and make sure to eat protein, it will keep you full for a longer period of time.

There is no dieting. this is a lifestyle change, it does not end!

I just want to give you a big hug! It is SO hard, and this is a moment. Regroup, learn from this and move on!

Feel free to add me!

I'm guilty of this! It's just that I've come a very long way in 2.5 years and I know exactly WHY and HOW I got as unhealthy as I did. I've been there, and I just kind of find it hard to just watch others not know how much damage bad food choices can really hurt them.

Add me! :)

Take it one day at a time. I've lost 175lbs, and I had to have a few nips/tucks. However, focus now on getting the weight off, learning nutrition and moving. Try to tone as much as you can, but realize your body will not be perfect (what is perfect?), but you will still feel wonderful losing the excess weight. I have many…

You are beautiful and do not deserve to be treated like this. Get out of this "relationship" stat. This is toxic for you.

Congrats!!! September bride here, working to move these last 15lbs!

You go girl!

This is SO helpful. Thank you for posting this :)

Way to go! :)

Jealousy. Oh well, too bad.

I struggle with this----I've learned just to say "thank you' and end it.
