Hey guys,

I used to use this forum a WHILE ago, and now, I'm back.

A short history- I lost 25 pounds 3 years ago and have kept it off (I have fluctuated between 176-181ish for the past 3 years).

Sounds great, right? Well, I still have about 30 to lose, is the problem. I wasn't done...and in the past three years, I've lost zip. SO, I'm back.

I'm counting calories this time, as I can't afford weight watchers, but I'm also doing Zumba, which has been a ton of fun, and I think helped me out big time.

I found that with weight watchers, I was paying the 40 dollars a month to not follow the diet. At least with Zumba, it's fun, so I go, and I really get a good workout out of it.

Anyway, I'm back, and looking forward to chatting with you folks!

That's awesome you made the decision to come back and get to your goal I lost weight on here a few years ago as well, but a very heavy pregnancy + gaining 20 back before getting pregnant pretty much put me back where I started.

welcome back!

Welcome back and good luck!

That is a great attitude! Keep thinking positively and "with a vengeance" as you put it and you will do great!

Welcome back! And I love your HP references

Be proud you kept it off! I lost 20 at the beginning of the year and gained it all back plus. We went to Universal Orlando over the summer and my spark for re-starting was seeing how disgustingly gross I looked in the pictures I took with Hogwarts in the background. We're going back again this summer and I need redemption photos!

I follow the WW plan but don't pay for any of the services anymore.

Keep going!
