Sorry for starting a new thread. I just wanted to introduce myself, too, and wanted to be "seen" and not lost somewhere.
I have been on so many diets, tried so many things. In the past, almost 20 years, I have gained lost 30 lbs (was always the fat kid so I started from 30) then gained 20 lbs, lost 20 lbs again in 30 days after a fasting diet, had a bad rebound and gained 30 lbs (and then some!) Now I need to get back to a healthy lifestyle and need to lose 30 lbs again. Sometimes I'm tempted to do the fasting thing again, but I'm too scared of the rebound (since I like eating too much!).
I used to be able to motivate myself better, but the older I get, the harder it becomes! *sigh* So, I'm hoping that if I joined this forum and found a support group, I'd do better. =)
So, glad to meet everyone! Hope to be included in the community soon!
