Hi y'all! I just wanted to say hi and it's good to be back and kind of re-introduce myself. I started posting here in early July, and from then to the first of October, I went from 304 to 283. I honestly don't know what I weigh today...I've been avoiding the scale. I am sure it's not 283 anymore, but I am very hopeful that it's not all the way back up to 304, either. I honestly don't have any real reason for falling off the wagon, so to speak. Yes, I got busier. I took on the job of the service unit manager for area Girl Scout troops. But, I was already doing treasurer, so it's not like I committed myself to any more time than I already was. I guess I just fell back into my old habits of eating badly and not exercising. There have been a few times when I've had that fleeting thought of "oh, I should do that again" but for whatever reason, I didn't. Yes, I'm annoyed with myself. I can sit here all day and be ticked at myself, and wonder how much I would weigh today had I stuck with it, but really, what good does that do me? So, I am trying to not dwell on my mistakes. But I need to learn from them and move forward. Onto bigger and better things. Or, actually, slimmer and better things.

I do know that a big, big factor in my falling off plan was the fact that I could no longer access this board from work. Even though I wouldn't play on the internet and only used it briefly when I was caught up, my boss put the brakes on internet use. And at home, I had dial up and it was just too painfully slow. But, we bought a laptop and have wi-fi access now at home, so I can access the board much faster now. Looking forward to updating my sig, posting in the One Reason and NSV threads were all things that helped motivate me, so I am happy to be back. I will bite the bullet and weigh in the morning to see where I will be starting again from this time. (Crossing fingers it's not too bad.) And I have a definate plan to exercise and start counting calories again. So, here I am....ready to go again. Looking forward to getting to know new people, and get re-aqqainted with people I visited with here before.

Christy - only have a second, but Welcome Back!

I'm so glad you returned. Get on that scale, update the ticker, and get right back into it. Glad also that you have faster internet (all the better for surfing and posting here for great tips and motivation).

Good to see you again, Christy! Welcome back.
Don't worry too much about the scale tomorrow. It is just a starting point for you!!! You'll continue to do great again.

I am glad you came back!!

I'm so very glad to see you posting again and to see you have a plan of ACTION. You'll be back to losing very, very shortly I'm sure. Good luck to you.

Welcome back!!!

Pity me, by the way -- I still have dial-up!

Christy..... hi! I am new here. I glad you are back !!!
