*waving hello* New here, need your support :)
Hello! I am new here and really hoping to find the support (and tough love) I need to get my butt in gear. Here’s my stats: I am starting at 164 pounds and want to get down to 130 pounds. I was down to 156, then lost my grip and quickly gained 8 pounds back. I don’t want to gain back any more! I worked too hard to lose those pounds. And I don’t want the blasted things back! 
I’m not sure what happens. I just sometimes feel sad and hopeless, and it makes it hard to really believe I can do this.
I don’t believe in feeling sorry for myself or wallowing around whining about wanting to be thin while I shove fistfuls of junk food into my mouth though! I want to be strong and fit. I want to like how I look and how I feel. I want to be the person I know I can be, if I put my mind to it and stick to it.

Don’t be so hard on yourself is my best piece of advice to you.
This is a journey and there are gonna be bumps in the road, granted I had hills for bumps in my journey but just because you gained a little weight back doesn’t mean you can’t do it, just means you have to work a little harder which means the end result it gonna feel even better!
Thanks for commenting! I feel so out of control when I get off track and lose my focus and stop believing I can do this. I know this will be a good place to get the support I need to lose this weight for good!
*WAVES BACK* Welcome to buddyslim. You can certainly lose weight and yes some of us, well, I’m great at giving tough love - are you sure you can handle it?
I hope you start your journey right now - go for a walk. Then come back and let us know how it went.
I have been on the roller coaster ride of losing weight for over 3 years. I was at one point down to 160lbs. and gained everything back. Stay positive and just keep telling yourself you have to do this. I have decided this time around my weight is not coming back!!! Just stay focused and if you get off track remember tomorrow is always a new day!!!
I can handle it!
And yes, I plan to start right now. Well, after I get home and can work out, that is!
Welcome aboard! you have found the perfect place for support! Let us know how your workout/walk goes
I will! This is great, now I feel like I have to work out, or else Nancy and AuntTeeTee are going to kick my rear, ha ha
