Hey,
I am a restarter, too. I did a fabulous job last year, starting about this time. I remember asking for MF for my birthday last year (1/27). This year was the same request. I was down to 7 pounds to my goal, but I quit around August. I tried to restart last year, just before the holidays. I just couldn't do it. I think I felt so good at that weight, I just couldn't get motivated. I looked good and felt great. I did well maintaining until the holidays. Then, I just ate everything. I joined WW on-line and stuck with it for a couple of weeks. I swear I stayed below my points alottment-- gained 3 pounds!!!!
So, I begged my husband for MF. He's wonderful, so for the second year, I get MF for my birthday. I haven't weighed in a while. I'm scared. I am going to start MF on Monday, the 29th. I am having one last hurrah for my birthday this weekend. I figure I am going to have 25 pounds to lose. Dang it. I was so close. Well, at least I am in good company. Good luck to all of you! We can do this. We know it works. Just think--- skinny levis, skinny levis!
