Hi, I'm a returning participant too :) I lost just over 22kgs and then slacked off terribly and gained back about 10kgs - so here I am again, logging and exercising. Wishing you all the best with your journey, you'll get there, you did it before, you can do it again :)

Hi Sarah, I'm trying to find my beach body too, I think I lost it in the biscuit cupboard :) We both have similar goal, approx 20lbs weight loss, so if you need some encouragement, please feel free to add :)

@ mclush12 (page5 :) you are not alone, I'm April 6th too..:flowerforyou:

*waves* Hi, I'm from Dublin, living in Kildare - there are a few of us Irish here. Can't help you with the pudding though, hate the stuff :) Feel free to add :-)

Everything in moderation, if you want some chocolate, have it, like you said, you dont eat the whole bar, but a little should kill the craving and keep you on track :)

Hi Welcome to MFP. I'm trying to shape up and lose weight after my pregnancy. My baby is now 10mths and you're right when you're not running around after them, it's sooooo nice to sit down and relax. However, I find my relaxation now comes in the form of a good walk, great for clearing your head after a hard day. I wish…

Hey I was in the exact same predicament as you only 12 short weeks ago. I, like you have 2 small kids and I found that life had become all out them and my needs became non existent. I was snacking late at night when the kids went to bed and did no exercise (apart from the odd walk to the shop) I never bought myself clothes…

HI Welcome to MFP, I'm sure you'll find the support & motivation buddies you need here. I'm like you, I pretended for ages that my motivation to diet & workout would just appear as if by some sort of miracle, but it never did, so MFP is my way of being accountable for my actions. So far I've found this site amazing and I'm…

Hey welcome to MFP. Congratulations on your massive weight loss achievement so far...you've done amazing. Ive found this site to be really helpful, I'm one of those people who says on saturday night...'the diet starts monday' and while it may have always started on a monday it was all but non existant by thursday! But…

Hi Shanna, Welcome to MFP! This site is fantastic and really helpful. Like you I'm trying to get my younger in shape self back, feel free to friend me and I'll help keep you motivated on this very bumpy weight loss journey Best of luck Tara :)

Dont get discouraged, you've done a fantastic thing by starting this very bumpy rollercoaster ride of weight loss. Forget about the scales for the moment, the weight gain is more than likely water retention. Stay focused on your goal and keep on going. I know its easier said than done and there will be days when you just…

You're not alone! I had one of those weekends too...and just like you I feel terrible now, but you know what, it's not the end of the world, I'm gonna pick myself up, dust myself down and get back on track again. I can't change what I ate but I will sure as hell remember this feeling the next time I reach for the junk food…
