I haven't posted on 3FC in probably close to 5 years, around the time I got pregnant with my older daughter. I've since had her, and another baby girl as well. Yay! Life is fabulous, but there's no denying the weight I've regained. I *had* lost 90 pounds before the girls came....I've regained 70. I suck, right?

Anyway, I need to come back and get back under control! What's the popular exercise and diet plan these days? Any challenge groups want me? I have a short term goal of 'back under 200' by June 1st, anyone similar? I need accountability, friends, and the support I know is here!

Of course you're welcome back!!!!

I would love to be under 200 by 1 June, but I'm taking it slow and easy. My goal is to be under 200 by middle of August.

You don't suck - jump right in and take it one day at the time

Welcome back! We've all been there. Look at my Join Date... I've been here off an on for years, still losing and gaining the same 30-50 pounds.

You can do this! There is so much support here, and encouragement, advice, and old-fashioned kicking-you-in-the-pants when you need it!

So glad to see your post, Vanessa. You are awesome!

Congrats on your babies. What a fun time in your life, and it is great that you are making your own health a priority, too. That will set a great example for your daughters.

I'm new to the site, but not new to weightloss. I have ridden a few loss and gain rollercoaster rides myself. I hope your first day was a good one, and now it's on to the next!

You don't suck.


The wonderful thing is....that you know you can totally do this! You've done it before! And you have 20 less to lose! AWESOME!

Well, you've got a lot of fellow suckees (is that even a word?), and since I refuse to think of myself as a suckee -- might be a sucker, but not a suckee -- you obviously can't be one either.

Heck, I was impressed that you didn't do what I always have done after a significant weight loss which is, of course, to not only gain it back but to add on another 30-50 pounds. So, welcome back. Think what worked before. And know that you're amongst friends.

I don't think you're the only one here on round two ( or three, or four or sixteen....)

Welcome!!!!!! 90 pounds is AMAZING!

Hey, you managed to keep 20 off. I'm a glass is half full kinda gal

Welcome back!! And join us in the getting out of the 230's and 220's, we're all reaching for onederland together.

P.S. You don't suck. You're awesome for coming back!

Just wanted to add another welcome back!

It's great you're back!! I've just recently joined and I can see why you'd want to come back...great place for info, ideas and support! Welcome back and congrats on your newest little girl

Hello and welcome back. I;m sure you'll find it as if you've never left, and the weight will simply melt away.

Welcome back and good luck on your journey!

Thank you! I may change my goal. I did some math today, maybe I need longer. It's all good, as long as I go in the right direction!
