It's been over a year since I've been on these forums and in that time I've gained back 20 pounds. Ugh...20 pounds and that is really depressing. All of my friends are healthy-thin and then there's me. I have found in this past year that the weight re-gain has really affected me socially and professionally and I've lost confidence instead of weight. So...I'm recommitting myself to this and I'll set goals and I really hope I can meet them this time. I am now roughly 50 pounds away from my goal. I think the first 10 - 15 will come off quickly enough because I haven't been doing a dang thing so any activity or diet will have some effect. I would really like to be a knockout for a reunion in August. I'm so vain.

For the rest of February: gym 4 times. I'll set minutes and more specific goals next week. Man I'm sick of being fat.

Glad you're trying again! Good to get more active--that's really helped me. I joined the local Y and go almost every day. I also use the FitDay tracker to help me see where I'm at with food.

Good luck!!

Hey Melra!

Welcome back. Good for you for making the decision to get back into shape. I know exactly how you feel. I just jumped back on the wagon myself. Yeah, I understand how gaining the pounds really affects your confidence especially during socializing and while buying clothes. Made me really depressed.

Anyways good on you for making the decision! And about being vain...aren't we all?
