Starting over again... again!!
 

Hi everyone, my name is Angela and I am starting all over again with this weight loss thing. I managed to lose 40 pounds a few years ago and felt great but then life got in the way and after 3 years of ups and mostly downs I have gained back almost all of the weight I lost. I went and re-joined weight watchers for probably the 5th time this week but this time I haven't told anyone. I'm hoping to have gotten back into the swing of it by the time people notice and ask what I've been doing. I know people mean well but it adds more pressure when people know and ask about it all the time. Having said all that I know I can't do it all on my own so thats why I'm here. Hope to speak to you all sometime soon! :)

Welcome, and good luck!

Great!! Never give up on yourself! Welcome to the boards! This a great place for motivation and support...

I too started over and over again. You're tackling a huge health issue and to come back is honoring yourself.:welcome3:

Good luck!

I am new to this forum and I am starting over as well! I joined because I am away at school and don't have much support here, so I figure this might be a good way to get some! I did WW a few years ago and lost quite a bit of weight, but I gained all of it (+30) back! So I am trying again. This time I am trying Lindora...has anyone here had any success with it. I am hoping it will jump start my weight loss.

by the way, what is MRC? I see a lot of posts about it, but don't know what it is!!! :)

Welcome to 3FC! You did it before, so you know you can do it again! As far as not telling anyone, I understand how yo feel. Not only do you get the added pressure but if for some reason you fail (and I know you won't) then you feel extra guilty and feel like you just want to hide to avoid the questioning stares. But i know you'll be great. Just stick to the boards. We're always here to help. Good luck. Hope to hear more from you soon.

Hi ANgela first I wanted to say I love your image.. that lil cat is toooo cute! This is a great place for support and motivation, we are glad to have you join the family! You can do it!

I too am starting over! I understand how you feel! I really dont want every one to know Im doing this right now because thier intentions may be well, but after a while, its hurts. People think its easy to lose weight and its NOT! My friends know that I am always going on a Yo-Yo diet and some times with out realizing it, they say nasty things! I have had two kids and my wieght has not went back down to my pregnancy weight! I am struggling to lose weight and hope that this forum gives me the motivation that I need!
