    back again!!

    It's time i lost some weight (again). I lost around 40lbs the first time I did this 3 years ago. Since then, I've put it all back on and more. I'm back up to 240lbs again and I want to get back to around 195 for my holidays in September.

    I tried again on January 1st this year and lost 7lbs in a month. I was Dissapointed with this (compared to losing nearly 20lbs in a month 1st time), so I quit. I've just discovered it's not as effective the second time around!! Third time lucky - day 3 passed.

      Re: back again!!

      Andy I am sorry no one replied to your post but please don't yell at us everyone here is very nice and supportive and probably just missed your post
      Here goes!

      Don't get discouraged! I did the same thing, lost the weight then gained it all back plus some. Now here I am again, and Its not that it is not as effective the 2nd time around, just slower is all. You don't want to lose that fast anyway, when you lose slower your chances of keeping it off and really adopting the life style are much better!
      You should join up in one of the challenges to keep you going and start a journal if you haven't yet
      How have you been doing so far? Have you stuck with it?

        Welcome to the board Andy.. This is probably my 4th attempt and its coming off slowly.. One important thing to do is measure yourself and you will probably see the inches coming off quicker then the pounds

          One week down - I feel great. Sleeping well, no gas, never tired. I just hope that when I get on the scales next Wednesday at the 2 week mark, there's some difference!!

              Andy Good! You will see a difference on that scale.
              Did you take starting measurements? Sometimes if you don't see a huge loss that comes in handy because you will have lost a ton of inches

                I don't really use a tape measure, but I know from clothing when it starts to come off. Things like fastening shirt necks, across the back of the shirt etc etc. Just wish that vodka was allowed as i'm out on Saturday night!!

                  Hi AndyL. Welcome to the boards! I'm on my 2nd attempt.... so far its going really really well. I'm taking it one step at a time, cliche as it might sound, and its helping me by setting up mini goals for myself. I've hit the 1st one and working away to hit goal no 2. Might be worth doing that too for you?
