Sorry about the gain.Sometimes life gets in the way of our goals but.......you are back.Big step!!You can do this.

I am so sorry that you gained that weight back. BUT you CAN do this! You can do this and KEEP IT OFF!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about the gain. You're not alone. I lost over 100 pounds and gained 23 back. To lose the weight once is a tremendous accomplishment. You can lose those pounds again. This time it's less than half of what you did before. Be encouraged! You can do it.

blow the gain, you're back and hacking at it again, that's what matters! well done!

Hey, you realized what was happening and are taking steps to change things. Good for you! You can do this!

[Merksie]

Sorry about your regain . . . you're definitely not alone! I lost about 80 lbs a few years ago and gained it all back . . . so good for you for taking control again relatively quickly.

[Jennelle]

I'm glad that you came back before you gained it ALL back!

[Smiling_Sara]

welcome back! The important thing is that you are here and ready to get back on the wagon of being healthy. You are not alone. Post often, this site is and the ppl who post here are so inspirational and amazing.

I know how you feel. I lost 80 pounds in 2007-2008 and gained back 40. But I'm back here and I will do it this time. *hug*

You are so not alone. I lost over 100 lbs in 1999-2000 then 50 more in 2003 then gained it all back PLUS some by 2007. Here I am, doing it again--but permanently this time. I finally figured out several things, including the fact that food is neither a punishment or a reward ~ it's just food ~ and the only power it has over me is the power I give away to it, and I refuse to give any power to food. Best of luck to you ~ you'll do great!!!

You can definitely do it!!! You lost the weight once so you know you can do it again. Look back at the things happening in your life when the re-gain started and how you dealt with it and have a plan of action this time on how to combat it. This is definitely a journey for all of us and we all know that you have to sometimes fight to keep the weight off. Best of luck to you!

back! I have been there and done that several times myself. The important thing is you are not allowing it to beat you and you came back. It is a life long learning process.

You'll get there again... just stick with it!

sorry about the gain, but looking at the silver lining - it was 48 lbs, and NOT the full 100... or 110... you're still DOWN over 50 lbs, so that's a good thing!!

and yes we're still here I don't know about the rest of you, but even if I weight 110 lbs (ha, yah that's happening) I'll STILL be here !!!
