Default Starting again...need encouragement

I did IP until I got off track during the holidays last year. I'm kept thinking I would start again every few days for the last year. So after a year today is the day, no more, "I'll do it tomorrow's," just looking for emcouragement.

So glad you jumped back in. I never thought I could lose weight, it seemed an overwhelming task to me until IP, but I guess you know that already. I'm 17 lbs from goal and afraid of the thought of maitenance, but with this group, I think anything is possibe!

Welcome back. Today is day 5 for my reboot. I started in October 2011 and lost 70 by spring. Did maintenance well for a few months, then my Phase 1 days got pretty lax and suddenly I am back up 18 pounds. There is a thread for rebooting folks, and I will hunt it down and bump it up. I have no clue how to post links but I can get it to the top of the list. Welcome back. We can do this.

Hi, I am on the same boat. Off for 2 weeks and a bit and of course loaded up the weight wagon by 12lbs I am interested in the rebooting thread too And we can do this-fight the food demons! I think it gets harder every time you get off. It all sounds all too familiar for me-I am thanking many on this forum for keeping me grounded, inspiring and motivating me.

You need to be in the right frame of mind to start IP and you definitely seem to be! I am trying to think of this as a lifestyle change and not a diet.it also helps to know that phase 1 doesn't last forever.

I just came on board for some inspiration. I have been away for a while and things have slipped. Old habits die hard!! I want to get back in gear before I totally lose control and put all of my lost weight back on. I can't believe how easy I let myself revert back to bad habits. Back on track tomorrow. So, the reboot thread is for beginning again?? Great, I feel ready for the next 30lbs!

Hi Soccrmom, I too am restarting after having great results last year. I also struggled through the summer months and different events that we do and finally made the decision and realization that this isn't a diet it's a lifestyle change and I'm ready for that! I am very lucky that my dh also wants to change his eating habits (even though he doesn't need to lose weight) so that helps me out. Good luck to you. We can do this!
