Struggling after Vacation
My weight loss has been Sloth Slow. Lost 10 lbs, but it has taken me 4 months. Why? Because I like to go out to eat, especially on weekends.

Gaining 10-20 lbs per year
I've done the calculations. And since a bad break up 5 years ago, I have been gaining anywhere from 10 - 20 lbs per year. Since November I've already gained 10 lbs.

What does motivation look and feel like?
Hi all! This is my very first post here on MFP. I'll keep this short and sweet. I've been wanting to lose weight for the past 3 years, and have done 2 rounds of the biggest loser where I work as well as joining Weight Watchers 3 or 4 times. It never sticks. I get discouraged, frustrated, and then....I EAT! I am at my all…
