Starting from where I left off.

[iwantoloseweight]

Its been a while since I have been on here, sadly, since December I have fallen back into my one habits, and gained back some of the weight I had lost. By December, I had lost 20lbs, however, since then I have gained back 6lbs. Although I am still one stone lighter than I was last year, it is still sad news, both to admit to myself and everyone else.

Starting today, I am starting from where I left off. I still have 26lbs to lose to reach my goal weight, but due to last year, I am already half way through my weight loss journey. I am planning on doing the same 'diet' this time, in which I just eat healthier and smaller portions. However, I do feel as though I have learnt a significant amount about weight loss since last year, as last year I was starting out completely new, now I understand what is required, and what healthy foods I enjoy. I believe this time the weight will come off slower, however, I am okay with that. I seem to have also have accepted that it is a slow process and that it is a marathon, not a sprint - to be cliche.

I guess that is all I wanted to say, but I am hoping to take more advice from this forum and make the most of it.

I remember you joining, and it is lovely to see you back. We don’t go away, and happily collect anyone who wants to be active with us again.

Looks as if you have a great plan - slow and sure, is best - that is a great way for the weight to be gone for good. 🙂

You have a good idea of where you want to get to and how to get there, and this forum will help you focus and make any adjustments you need along the way.

Are you going to join one of the weigh-ins? It will link you up with a regular group to travel along with.

Good luck; you're starting from a better position than you were last year and don't ever talk down your achievements

Losing focus for a while can be dispiriting Iwanttoloseweight but you're not alone and many here have had hiccups along the way. The trick is to keep going and that's what your post is showing that you're doing.

You're sounding very positive but you may be interested in the Strugglers Club in 'Pinned Posts' that I found helpful earlier this year.

There's also the Daily Diary in 'Events' where I've found that planning my food for the next day makes me much more likely to stick to it.

Good luckl!
