A wave hello...I poked around on here absolutely ages ago but haven't been here in years, but need to get myself back on the wagon and looking for some community and more accountability and this forum came to mind!
My highest weight was 320lb and after downs (and ups) and downs I finally reached my goal last year...and then between vacation/holidays/whatnot went completely AWOL and regained a ghastly amount of weight what feels like overnight. Not nearly back to the 320 but where once I vowed I never would be again. Sigh.
For me, what worked was a self-made plan of cutting out all refined sugar (I went 13 months and felt AMAZING, and I am a SUGAR ADDICT), plus calorie counting/exercise...but I relapsed on the sugar (did I mention sugar addict?) and it's been awful, and I just can't seem to remember how I got myself through that early period of cutting out sugar. So, here I am! (I figure, writing down that I'm doing it makes it more likely that I'm doing it, right...?) So, hello!
