Hi all-

My name is Marie and I joined June 27/06--about 3 1/2 months ago. I lost 20 lbs. and then middle of August went on family vacation and started not being compliant all the time--

This led to the beginning of school for the kids and all the busyness of life, their activites; and I just fell off the wagon.

I am BACK on and on day 3--I didn't weigh myself to begin with because I am too ashamed to admit that I probably have gained it all back.

What I realize anew, (as I am sure many of you have), is how important this forum is. I stopped posting after vacation because I wasn't in a good MF place, but should have gotten right back on--

I am motivated to do this for myself. I usually do it too much for other reasons--other people, big events, wanting to be a certain size. The focus can easily go to those things and not to the slow and steady pace wins the race.

Here's hoping-

Welcome back, and congratulations for having the courage to start again. I think you have a good outlook by focusing on yourself and sticking to the program instead of aiming to get to a certain weight by a certain time. I know a lot of people set goals like that, and maybe it helps them. But I feel like my body is going to do what it wants to do and it its own time. Just because I may -want- to weight 155 by Halloween, doesn't mean it's going to come true, even if I'm totally compliant. Just concentrate on staying on plan and the weight will take care of itself.
