I'll get there! I was doing so good for a long time and just got into a more processed food cycle... You know how THAT goes! Once you start you feel so crappy and then it's a vicious cycle of eating junk and feeling even worse. I'm kicking off w just eating really clean and using my vitamix to make fresh veggie and fruit juice blends to supplement... I feel so much better already! I was putting it off for awhile and then something snapped in me. Why am I treating my body like a garbage can? I can do this!!!

Ugh. I feel your pain and frustration. At times I treat my body like a garbage can too and I don't know why! It sounds like you've got the right attitude now to eat clean. (I drink lots and lots of water with lemon after crappy eating.)

Congratulations on your journey! You still have a lot to be proud of! Yes! You can do this!

You can do this you have done it before...and that's WHY you hate it now you know what it feels like to be thin. It will take work but not THAT much.
I too had lost the same amount and let myself gain 30lbs. This last Dec 27 I decided to JUST DO IT! And snap back seriously with tracking everything and cutting out known offenders. By the end of Feb I was almost to my goal Now 5 months later I am at 124. MY WHOLR closet fits again HAPPY DANCE!!!!
YOU CAN DO IT!!! Dedication ,determination and discipline.

WOW! congratulations!!!
That is AWESOME. do you know how long you were working out for each day and how many calories you were burning??
I need to lose about the same amount haha xD
also how were you keeping track of the calories you ate?

[devadiva]

If you were asking me, I track on MY FITNESS PAL, both exercise and food.
I exercise nearly everyday,but I LOVE IT..I was a couch potatoe that did nothing and started with like 2 min on the elliptical...but TODAY I would have to say I am VERY fit. I have done it all with DVD's and started running at 59 1/2. And fell head over heals for it. I exercised through my entire weight gain time which was about a year and a half. BUT since weight loss have been hitting my weights and running mostly. I eat at maitence about 1900 calories a day total.
If you go on MFP I am divaindy friend me with a note you can see my exercise and food. and pictures.
