Well I am back again after being gone a year. Worst part is I gained almost all of the weight I lost back .
When I left here I was trying to make it to 250 and I did briefly but then I started to plateau and could lose anymore. So after about a month I gave up. Throw in feeling defeated with a life changer and a dash of binge eating for depression and I am where I am now 300+lbs again.
Good news I am not as depressed and I decided that with a recent life change (my son starting kinder) that I could do wonderful things.
I walk my son to school every morning and its about 2 miles round trip big step for this couch potato. Did it 4 days out of 5 last week (had to meet with the teacher one day so I drove). This week I hope to make it 3 for 3 (holiday and kiddo home sick with strep today).
I was able to log 9 miles walking last week and this week I hope to make at least 8 if not 9 again. I have been logging with MFP for 9 days and using MapMyWalk app to see how far I am going.
Sorry so long but I really hope that I wont fall into the same trap as last time.

Welcome back! (I think... lol) There is no shame in "starting over" or whatever. As long as you're back on track! Walking the kiddo to school is an awesome way to get active! I used to walk to work and I was able to really drop the weight! Not having anything active to do is a death sentence!

IChoose, your signature says it all!!! "It doesn't matter if you fall down. The important part is getting back up." You've got this.
