Hello everyone, I've been dieting on my own (off & on) for about a year now. I managed to lose about 50 pounds within the first 5 months (went from a 22 to a comfortable 18), but then my motivation vanished. I'm at least proud of the fact that I've consistently kept roughly 40 pounds off for 7 months now.

Still, I've got a long road ahead of me, and I thought the accountability of a forum might help to keep me motivated & on track. So, this monday 05/15/06 I'm going to do my level best to finish what I started. Wish me luck!

I just wanted to wish you lots of luck in your weight loss endeavor, and congratulate you on your past accomplishment. I too am starting over come Monday May 15, 2006. After a year of being split up from my boyfriend we have gotten back together and I have an upcoming family wedding that I want to look great for in August. These two things have given me the incentive to tackle my never ending yo-yo dieting once and for all.
