Hi all!

I used to use this site a few years ago, and now i'm back ! :)

On my first weight loss journey, i started at 265 lbs, and lost 45lbs, maintaining between 220-223lbs for about 1 year. However, i then proceeded to gain back all the weight i lost, plus more :( I am currently sitting at around 275lbs (i will do an official weigh in soon!).

I am finding it really hard to get going again with weight loss. It is so discouraging knowing that all my hard work went to waste and i am now worse off than i was before.

But i am excited to get started again! :)
 
Welcome back Shygemini! Don't get discouraged about gaining weight back you once lost. You can do it again! Just to put your situation into perspective, I once weighed 355lbs and lost down to 260. Then I gained to over 475, before losing back down to ~320. Then I gained again back up to 370+ (due to some medical problems), and now I'm losing again. And I haven't given up completely yet! i know its easy to lose the weight, i f I want to. I hope this is the time I'm committed enough to keep it off.
 
Thank you Mar! :)

It is nice to hear from someone who has gone through a similar situation and prevailed! You have done amazing with your weight loss!

I know i can do this, it is just a matter of getting my willpower up and exercising and eating right. Right now exercise is hard for me as my cardiovascular endurance is basically non-existent. :S

Also i forgot to say that for now my goal is to get back down to 220lbs (where i had maintained for awhile). My next goal after that is 175lbs. And really, that has always been my ending goal, out of the obese range.
 
Although I messed up my weigh in this am, i believe I am starting somewhere around 278-279 lbs. Will confirm tomorrow.
