I managed to lose about 18 pounds with the help of the 3FC community about 4 years ago… well, here I go again!

I've been trying to muster up the self-control to eat better on a regular basis for months now, and I can tell that I won't be able to do it on my own. So I am calling on this wonderful community for support and companionship as I try to shed the weight. Always easier with friends!!!

I just discovered that I had joined the forum in 2006 saying that I was 'starting again' ... well, guess what? I'm starting again again! I joined Nutrisystem and am hoping against hope that THIS time might be the \last time I have to start again. My life has involved such ups and downs, not all of them weight related ... I wish I could get stable and STAY there!

I plan to stay connected to see if there any way possible that this type of thing might help.

Thanks for the encouragement! I count calories so I am starting to do that again today. I am going to try starting out a little easier this time (aiming for 1 lb / week, rather than 1.5, which is what I did last time) so I don't get discouraged and quit.

I bought my first road bike about a week ago, and it's Bike to Work Month (I only live about 2 miles from the office), and I am planning to ride to work every weekday this month, weather permitting! Last week was a great start; now I have to eat better too!!
