So many of us here have started and restarted. This time last year I was down to 169 pounds. A few months later, after some minor surgery, I was back up to 225. I lost most of that weight on Medifast (not cheap!) and felt like I spent all that money for nothing.
This time I'm doing it on my own. What another poster mentioned here is true. Never give up; just keep on trying until you find a diet and exercise plan you love (or at least like quite a bit) and can stick to. Even if the weight comes off slowly, even if you hit a plateau or two, even if you don't feel like it...like the Nike ad says: JUST DO IT!
Do not let another day, week, month or year go by where you'd be asking yourself, "Why didin't I start back then?" Do it NOW...even if you have to force yourself at the beginning (I did).
Come here daily for motivation and join a challenge where you have to post daily to keep you accountable. There are so many others who are in the same place you're at right now. We understand.
All my best to you!
