I haven't been on here in a while and feel like I have lost some accountability for myself. I was doing great and then just stopped posted and keeping track. Now I'm back up to 162 and trying to go down. I feel like a failure in a way but I'm happy to try and fix the situation.

Hi Lilies! You're not a failure. Weightloss isn't a matter of struggling and subsequently failing... Any success will come from a belief that you are worthy of it; rather than self-imposed will-power or trying to force yourself into certain behaviors. I've come to learn that will-power does not exist. If I believe I am worthy of a happy, healthy life, then my body and mind will guide me into the appropriate solutions to have that come to fruition. You can do it this time, good luck!!

Welcome back girl! Just jump back in ( i fell off somethin serious too, check my stats). And I second EVERYTHING LaurenM427 said!

I am exactly the same way! I ump on the bandwagon enthusiastic, only to fall off after a few weeks :/ But 3FC is really helping me to stay motivated! Good luck!

Hey! Thanks LaurenM427. I keep having to remind myself that I don't need to eat sweets when I get upset or just as a bored behavior. I was doing ok until things started so slowly creep up as I find that I was eating junk more than regular food.

Skinnyelle! I haven't talked to you in a long time! It seems you are doing while by your stats. Were you planning on maintaining at 150? I would still really like to go to the 130s. Maybe I need to re evaluate my goal to something I've obtained before like 137.

GordonGirl16-- Yes I think the bandwagon is something to be concerned about. I've been doing weight loss since before I started posting here but this is the first time after I really told myself that I'd never do it again that it's actually happened. I'm just happy that I was able to catch it before I when back to my starting weight.

lilies no ultimate goal is 125. I just like to take it 10 lbs at a time. So Ill readjust once I get to 150 :-)

I'm in the same boat you are right now. We can do this. Glad we are both back on 3FC.

I think doing small goals is a good idea. Definitely less stress. I'm trying to do at least 30 minutes a day of exercise instead of telling myself I need a certain amount of hours a week to exercise. I'm just realizing how much I need to make exercise a priority in my life. It keeps me balanced. If I could get in the 120s I think I would probably start crying. I don't think I've been there since like middle school or something.

Welcome back!!

You have never failed until you stop trying and you haven't stopped trying, you're back here again!

Same thing happened to me, just be proud that you've made the decision to start again!
