Hi everyone!

I posted here on and off last year . . . will you all have me back?

My weightloss efforts last year were a mixed bag - I was "on-plan" about half of the year and lost a little over 50 lbs. I am of course happy about the loss, but I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't stay on plan more consistently.

I intend to do better this year, and I know that reading and posting here will help. It's nice to "see" familiar faces, and also nice to see how many new people have joined since I was last here!

Welcome back!!! I'm new here but I have to say that it is a really good group here!!! So, keep it up and definitely welcome back!!!!

Oh, welcome back! And yay for not gaining the weight BACK!!!

Ria! Good to see your back! Good job on the first 50 gone! Once you find your groove you'll be droppping the next 50 just snap like that!

Hi Ria! Good job on the 50 pounds gone! It is nice to say that isn't it?

I agree, once you find your groove you'll be dropping another chunk of your weight!

Wow, congrats on the first 50!!! How are you doing today?

welcome back i am new also and i found recently that everyone wants to help everyone reach their goals

BTW, I did something that I owe to you guys and myself (of course) I was getting a sandwich at Jimmy Johns (great diet choices on healthy bread) and I USED (I can say this now) to be one of those people who if I saw two items that I liked I'de get them both and eat them both even if I said to myself I will eat the other one for lunch tomorrow (who was I kidding?) anyway, I was there and had to make a choice and I did it. I thought to myself what would my buddies do? and I did it. I made the choice and told myself if I really wanted that sandwich today I could go get it - I didnt want it!!! Yeah!!! Just thought I would share...

Hi Ria, I remember you. You were pretty active on here when I first stated. I'm glad you are back and ready for part 2. I lost my 1st 60 on my own, but found I REALLY needed support to keep going. I sure found it here. It's great to *talk* about weight loss/diet/exercise with people who also want to talk about it...This way I don't totally annoy my friends and family with it. Unless you live the struggle, I guess you can't understand the need to talk about it...constantly...LOL

Anyway, welcome back. Lets "git er done"!

I read your starting-over story and WOW that was an amazing analysis you did. My hat's off to you. I was so messed up when I put all this weight back on, in 2003-2004, I can barely remember a few things from that time--certainly not enough detail to analyze it. Wow! Welcome back!
