after 10 months to reintroduce myself. I won't go into the long boring gaining, losing, restarting rollercoaster at this time. Suffice it to say, I should have been at goal long ago. At any rate, I'm back (day 3) and still taking it one day at a time. Here is my starting pic (194) and where I am today (178).
Thanks everyone for all the input on the forum. it is a great source for comfort and knowledge!!
Don't worry, there's a whole group of us "old newbies!" I should've been at goal this time last year if I hadn't fallen off the wagon...It took me a while to get re-started, but now I have a newfound determination and KNOW this will be the LAST time! This time, I'm going ALL THE WAY TO GOAL, no deviations! I'm glad you're back shakin' with us! This forum is SO great, it's gotten me through A LOT!
Welcome Back Ellen! Lookin Good! It will never cease to amaze me how even relatively small losses can add up to big changes in appearance. Its wild! There is a very noticable change in your before and during..Your doing great!!! You can do this!!!

WELCOME BACK! I am an OLD NEWBIE too so dont feel too bad.
This time we will all make it to the finish line!
You can see a difference in you already, just keep up and imagine how great you will look and feel at goal!
Thanks everyone! Sometimes I feel so ashamed for straying that I stay away from the board for a while. I keep hoping to be able to come back and show that no matter how many times you trip, you can still make it to the finish line.
Even though I haven't been able to reach my goal (yet!!) this is the first time ever in my life that I have been able to continuously get back on a diet. In the past, once I quit that was it. I hate when people tell me that I cheat because the diet is too strict and proceed to tell me how to lose weight. I bark at them that I would cheat no matter what plan I was on, it's me not the MF. I love this plan, it works and I will keep on keepin on............
JUST LOOK at all the noticeable changes in your body...ALREADY! I'm thrilled with your progress so far and how can you not be inspired to continue with just a small step in the right direction, look what it's ALREADY doing for your body!
Welcome back! You havent even lost 20 lbs this time around, and you already look so much healthier and toned. Great job....and stay on board this time!!
