Hi! I have tried this before, lost about 20lbs, then lost my way and gained it all back and am around the 200# mark again. Major failure on my part. I just started over (today is my first day back) and am ready to do this! Congrats on your 30lb loss!!! You are moving in the right direction. We can do this!!! Request sent!

I may have used the wrong words in the wrong context. But I agree with you all and thank you for the advice! You've definitely given me things to think seriously about :)

Thank you for your advice Mr Knight but I do know my reasons. I apologize for the misunderstanding in how I worded my original post (by saying "no reason"). As you said my reasons are personal and individual to me. I have plans to change so this time I will succeed in my goals..

Well, yes, you are correct, and I know the reason. ReasonS, actually. There are many. Mostly just bad excuses and unable to stay on track. Same reason many diets fail, which is why my goal this time is not to look at this as a "diet" but rather a lifestyle change, and if I have an "off" day I'll start over the next day and…

Sherry you're absolutely right. I know why I failed the last time (s) and I just need to be more determined to stick with it for the long haul this time. And follow the it more closely. I.e.. less cheating :) And I need to find a way to get ore exercise in per week.

I am also starting over, again, and need all the support I can get to stay on track this time! Feel free to add me! :)

I have almost identical goals. Add me! ;)

Welcome! Add me and I'd be happy to help support you in your goals and would love the same! I need it ;)

Welcome Shaun! I just returned to MFP today. Giving it a go again after life got in the way. Feel free to add me!

HI. I am just starting to do Zumba at home on the WiiU. I am hoping I will see results but I have heard no matter where you do it, Zumba will give you results. I have a friend who has been doing zumba for over a year and I barely recognize her!!! I also do the Just Dance games on the Wii U for something different. They're…

Hi - I am in the same boat. Feel free to add me :)

congratulations on your weight loss so far! friend request sent :)

Thank you for this Chevy! Being someone who is a returning MFP user, this really puts things in perspective for me. I have tried before, and gave up or quit because I just couldn't stay motivated or wait for the end result. I made excuses. But this really helps me to see how things really are. I am bound and determined to…

Welcome! I'm back again to do this and will be here awhile too! Add me and I'd be happy to support you in any way I'm able :)

HI! :) I am returning to MFP and am on my first week back. You sound just like me and how I feel about myself. I am determined this time to stick with it, no matter how long it takes, and I too am looking for all the support I can get. Together we can do this! Friend request sent. Anyone else feel free to add me as well.…

Me too! This is my first week and I'm looking for supportive and motivational friends. Anyone feel free to add me :happy:
