I came across this board from a link a poster put on the Southern MD Forums.

I've been a yoyo dieter most of my life. I lose a hundred lbs and gain it back...plus more. I've done that two times. This last time, I went from 327 to 201. I am now at 253...climbing my way back up.

I'm really hoping to get some support and some answers here.

HI! I am hoping for the same thing. I think we're both at the right place. I plan to visit often (several times a day if necessary-LOL)....

Oh my gosh, that just about made me cry! Kudos to you for recognizing that you need stop stop the gain NOW.

My first suggestion would be to take a look in the Maintainers Forum- I know, you aren't there yet- but if you read some of the thread in the Library section, we've had a lot of discussions on relapses, the loss/gain syndrome, and last year did a group book discussion of "Thin for Life". I think taking a look at what has worked for others to maintain a loss might give you some insight on how to keep yourself off the rollercoaster
