trying this again...
I started MFP on March 10, 2009. I lost 18 pounds and when I got to my goal weight, I kind of stopped. So in 4 months Iv'e gained 4 pounds. I know that doesn't sound like much but I need to get busy again logging my food. I see how easily the weight can come back on if your not careful! So here I go again... wish me luck!
