Yep...I undid all the progress I'd made a year ago. By January 2010 I had lost 40 lbs, was in the groove, and feeling good...even though I had a long ways yet to go I had made visible progress. But...by February 2010 I had, for no other reason than laziness, abandoned my goals and began the slow climb back up the scale. I didn't step on the scale for more than a year...until last week. I clocked in at a lifetime heaviest. 293 lbs. I knew it wasn't going to be good, but I was not prepared for that. I think I had a momentary break with reality as the information settled into my brain. And just like flipping a switch I recommited myself to....well....to myself. So I'm back. Junk food is gone. Fast food is gone. And as of this morning 6 lbs are gone. It's time for healthy eating and exercise. I feel confident I'm going to make it happen this time. I finally realized that it comes down to a very simple fact: Either I'm worth it or I'm not. Either I'm worth being healthy, happy, and comfortable in my own skin....or I'm not. And to anyone reading this, let me tell you: I'm worth it. And so are you. We're all worth it. I'm back in the trenches with you! Let's make it happen!!

Gald to hear you are excited, Good Luck!!

I can relate! Let's do it

Best of luck to you... It's definitely a tough climb but is definitely worth the progress. =) HUGS!!

I love it! I read something above the water fountain at the gym when I joined and it has stuck with me "You can either choose the pain of discipline or the pain of regret." I've felt that regret alllll too often when I think "If I would have just started six months ago...", "If I wouldn't have fell off the last time...", "My 30th birthday came so fast I should have just started when I said I would."

Good luck on your journey and congrats on the progress you've made so far
