Fall of the wagon (after I was on it so well!)

[blasto333]

So I went from 200-->150-->221

I got the motivation to start exercising again today, and it went pretty well. Now I just have to starting eating right again.

I was really on the wagon and even ran a marathon at 3hrs 45 minutes. Then I fell off pretty hard due to a lot of different things (Stress, health, job, I shouldn't make excuses, but I screwed up)

But I am ready to get back on the wagon and feel great so far today.

My goal is to get back to 150 again. It will probably take 20 weeks, but I can do it.

Any suggestions from people that fell off the wagon after doing so well?

My suggestion to myself is not get angry if I have a bad day.

I havent fallen off so I can't say that I've been there but good for you for trying again.
I think it's a greatthat your mindset is that if you have an off day, you will just keep trying.

You will get back to 150 again

Goodluck! keep us updated on your progress

Just stay positive and know that you can do it.

I hit my goal weight around 152, then went on vacation and gained 8 lbs in 2 weeks
So now I'm 160. I'm a bit upset but I need to lose weight again too now.

If you have junk food in your house, get rid of it. This really helped me. If it's around the house, sometimes I can't help myself to it. I just can't have it around.

It's a good idea I think to have 2 cheat days a week, or even 1. Eat whatever you want (within reason, but not too overboard) for that day, and eat well the rest of the week
