I am back. Some of you may remember me....then again, maybe not. I lost a lot of weight in 2006, but then found it again in 2007 and 2008. Gladly, I found only what I had lost and not more!!!! Anyway, I am back for the last time, so help me god!! I will be counting calories, eating less and moving more. Looking forward to all the support I got here last time.

Hey HadEnough...I remember you for sure.

You know your way around...check out the Calorie Counters, the 100 lb club, etc, then jump on in and return to posting. You have done it before, and you can do it again.

and on your return. Can't wait to see you around more!

Welcome back!!! This is a great time to start again. Do you know why you quit the last times? I think thats the big key to not quitting again. Starting over fail proof. Thats what I had to do. Now I walk with a pedometer daily (Started 10,000 steps a day and I'm now doing 15,000 steps a day) and I log all my calories into thedailyplate.com. I've lost 75 pounds in 6 months! And I don't pay for a diet program like weight watchers anymore and it goes anywhere with me. Nothings an excuse to quit.
Hope you find what works for you and feel free to message me!

I don't really know exactly why I quit last time. I don't think that it was a conscious decision. I think what happened, is that I just under 200 for the first time in a very long time. And I probably felt that I was ok with that #.....so I let my guard down. Then 5 pounds came back....I came to grips with that 5, then another 5 came back.......I came to grips with that 5.....well, you get the idea. So, now, here I am back at 263 or whatever the scale tells me tomorrow will be my official starting weight. I am not doing this again. I can never let me guard down again. You know one other thing I did wrong, was obsess about everything. Calories, weigh ins, sodium, carbs, fiber.... I just can not obsess this time. I have to go about this more even keel, knowing that this is forever this time. And I have to learn to love the gym. So, here we go!!!!! 2009 is my year to shine!!!

And let me add one more thing. I was getting A LOT of attention from other men, other than my DH. I have not always been good about handling that attention (meaning..you show me some attention, I am yours) and I think I wanted to go back to a safer place (i.e. The Fat Kingdom). This time, I have to learn to deal with it and be strong. So, maybe it was a conscious decision....who knows?
