I passed the year mark this past June. I had gone from 287 to 198. I had gotten over that huge 200 mark and let myself celebrate. I never really got fully back on. I'm not sure exactly what happened. The kids were out of school, I couldn't keep to any of my routines, I was too lazy to cook, I just wanted to eat some fruit.... maybe more reasons.

Anyway, I have a start over weight of 231. I started again yesterday and am down 2 pounds as of this morning. I don't feel better yet. I'm tired and still fighting my emotions. I actually have a head-ache this time around. (just how much sugar did I eat anyway?)

On the bright side, I'm starting from a better place. I'm confident that I'll feel better in a few days. I know the weight will come off. I'm ready to be a steady example for the spouse who started with me.

Hey Michelle I remember you! The most important thing is you are back on track and you didn't gain all of your weight back. Veterans means anyone who has been on the plan for a while! Everyone is welcome here! Let us know how today went!

Hey Michelle! Glad to see you back!!! Failure is only if you quit getting back up.

Here is the quote I needed!

Hi Michelle --

I am glad you reported in. I have had the same kind of summer. I had gotten down to 211 and now I am back up to 221. It is so amazing that after two years of sticking with it and not regaining even if I wasn't always losing, that I suddenly seemed really out of control.

I guess the good thing is that we are here and openly talking about it. I think that's the first step for both of us.

Hang in there, Michelle, you have really helped me in the past. I hope we can help each other!
