Trying to get back on track? What is your magic #

Thanks, Miss150, for sharing your observations about regain and reloss. You're such a subtle thinker and a good communicator.

This post is so inspirational! So many things you say here are like recordings in my head.

Thank you for sharing this.

Damn it! You made me cry inside.

Oh, Peps, do you know how precious you are? And how much your posts-musings -and transparency have helped me-?

Thank you so much, I needed to read this today.

I had 90 lbs regain because of poor food choices and lack of exercise. I was good at avoiding having my picture taken, however I finally saw a picture of me posted on Facebook by my cousin, and that was the final straw. I knew I was large, but that photo was a total smack in the face for me. Over the last 4 years, I've been on a roller coaster of losing 50 lbs and gaining back 30. On a good note I kept about 35-40% off each time I regained.

I finally found a motivation that's able to keep me going. Over the last 10 months I've lost over 50 and am still going strong. Another 25 lbs and I'll be at my lowest weight I've ever been post surgery.

It's been said before, and I'll say it again, "Regain can come off". It may take some time, but if you're determined to have a new life, it can and will happen! For me it took numerous times over a 4 year period.

Good job for not throwing in the towel. You should be proud of what you have done. It's not easy to find the motivation and patience to keep doing this over and over, but you have found it and plugged on.

So glad you said "no more" and got back to "you". Thanks for sharing
