Hello all my name is Meg, and I am dipping my toe in the water of getting support from (and supporting other people, of course!) on my weight loss journey.

I met with my doctor today. The blood tests that I had done last month are all normal *except* for my vitamin D. My vitamin D level is 10. I am going to add supplemental vitamin D for the next three months (3000 units per day) and get it rechecked. I have spent the winter quite ill & gained 15 pounds to boot. It has me a little down, and I am hoping that once I get my vitamin D level sorted out I start to feel a little bit better.

My plan is to go back to modified Eat to Live. I have had success with it before, and have honestly never felt better than when I was on it. One of my little ones might have a gluten intolerance, and I think that many of the eat to live recipes might be useful on our household quest to reduce the gluten in our house.

Once I lose some of my fatigue, I am hoping to get out with the stroller and walk around the neighborhood. I have also used walk away the pounds before and really enjoyed them, especially when it is cold and rainy.

It is late, and I am heading to bed, honest I just wanted to put this out there while i was feeling it!

Take care all

You/we can never stop 'trying again' - because you any time you start again could be the time that sticks for the rest of your life. Glad you posted.

Yeah for you! Starting again (and again, and again) is the first step to making your plan a permanent way of life for you. It's like learning to walk. You just keep pulling yourself up and taking that first step. Glad to see you back here. /hug

Awesome. I think Eat to Live is the best possible way to optimal health. I'm interested in your modifications. I would like to do his 6 week program without a hitch. I feel the most difficule part is family and friend related. I almost dread dinner invites, I feel like such a pain anytime I am totally avoiding foods.

Welcome to the board! Sounds like you have a good plan. Hope to see you around.

Meg, I'm right there with you! I am just starting again and I know it can be daunting to start something over and over but I totally agree with the statement that when it finally does work, it has to be started from somewhere! I also look forward to your posts and lets cheer each other on

Hang in there and "this" time will be "THE" time for you! It was for me. And I am fighting like crazy to make sure I keep it off!

Hey - it's only failure when you don't get it & try again, right?

I think I know how you feel. My Vitamin D was 11 last check. I am taking 50000 iu every Friday. It will be interesting to see how I'll feel at a normal level.

Even though it's April, Forward March! (sorry for the bad pun - but you know what I'm saying!)

It sounds like you have a plan of action! That's great!

Post often!
