newbie here ~ started yesterday
 

Hello Folks
This site was recommended to me by a friend for support and help,
I find it very helpful the food logs , and reading your stories,
Which has encourage me alot, & to start again on my journey of success

My starting weight was 374 lbs in 05-01-2007
I was so happy to accomplish (loss of 170 lbs ) to 204 lbs in 12-04-2010

In this new yr have gained again so much a bummer,
back up to 244.2 lbs, on 06-01-2011

very depressing my knees started hurting again, and legs swelling,
So today is the begining of my new journey, all help appriciated

Wow a loss of 170lbs is very impressive!!! :) Even though you gained some of it back, it sounds like you are ready to get back on track. You obviously have the determination so just take it one day at a time. Don't look at the past and get down on yourself about it, but look to the future and what you can accomplish. Good luck.

I agree, 170lbs lost is huge! Sure you have slipped some, but you know it and sound ready to fight back. This place is awesome for support and the logging really helps too. Good luck to you!!!

I definitely agree with the other two. 170lbs. is amazing! I'm having trouble losing 5 lbs. lol Even though you may have lost track for a while - don't let that completely discourage you! You had it in you then to lose weight. You definitely have it in you now :p
