Don't forget me!!!!! :bouncie:

I'm a re-starter also. I plan on this being the last time I have to re-start.

We can do this. We can reach our goal and stay on maintenance. There are so many encouraging folks here to watch and learn from. So many have done it, WE CAN TOO!!!!!!!

i'm already on my 2nd re-start in the new year. :oops:

to me, it is sooo much harder each time. the good news though is that i keep trying.

i've never done that on any other diet before. once i quit that was it.

i will say that i was getting really bored with my selection of drinks. i only like a few of them (including the bar) and they all happened to be sweet. i needed something to balance it out. i tried the eggs and tomato soup today and really enjoyed both. now i am looking forward to my mf meals again. for me, that's half the battle.

the other half of the battle was my thyroid. my goal was within reach when i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last year. when you have it removed and you can't take meds for 8 weeks, you gain weight unbelieveably fast. even faster than you can lose it on mf. i gained 15 pounds in three weeks and one of those weeks i was actually compliant on mf. i think that was the scariest part of the whole ordeal. i then used it as an excuse to eat whatever i wanted and gained another 15. so, here i am back where i started, but more determined

sorry i rambled :shock:

I'm a re-starter too, LAWoman. My major weight loss was back in 1989 when I took off over 60# on MF. So much time has passed and each year I thought, it's been a tough year. Too many emotionally rough years ... LOL. But there are always difficulties in life--I need to learn how to respond in a more healthy way. Hmmm ... if I had jumped on the tred mill (instead of eating) each time I was sad or depressed I'd be a skinny minny by this time!

I agree, it's been harder ... I tried back in 2005 and quit. But I also tried NS and quit that too. I do believe age and lifesyle has a lot to do with it. I'm 59 and all my friends like to dine out and have cocktails--even maintenance will be a challenge for me! I know there will be some envious 'friends' that will attempt to sabatoge my efforts so I want to stay close to this board for support. Of course, I will also rely on my true friends for support.

My goal is that by next Christmas I will be radiant and healthy! For me--not anyone else. Well, that's my vent.

Wishing you all the best of luck--we will do this together!

Hi, I'm a restarter too. I've had family in for the whole month of December and needless to say, I didn't stay on. So this week, I'm back and have already lost 5 lbs since Monday.

Hey DeDe! How are ya girl?

Yep, I'm a re-starter too...day four and finally over the carb cravings. Into a nice groove and feeling good! It's good to be back

Seaside · by **Seaside** » January 22nd, 2007, 8:46 am

Is it possible to be a re-restarter? I am. I started back in late 2005 and things fell by the wayside when I got embroiled in buying a new house...then, I started back and things were going well until -- until -- I have no idea. But I certainly gained the weight that I had lost back and then some.

I got tired of feeling crappy, with the back pain, hating everything I tried to put on in the morning, so this New Year I started back on MF. I have not weighed myself, but I feel better already. No back pain, clothes are fitting better and I feel a mite perkier.

This time. It's hard to come crawling on my belly out of lurker mode yet again, but living on the sidelines is one of the reasons why I got myself in this pickle in the first place.

Good luck to everyone and I am rooting you on!

MISSANNE · by **MISSANNE** » January 22nd, 2007, 8:47 am

Welcome Seaside!

You have made a wise decision to re-start. It seems like you are also coming to a better understanding of yourself--an equally sound place to be. Sounds like you are finding your inner voice! Kudos! :bravo:
