Wink New and Need Motivation!!

I'm a newbie to this website and need some major motivation! I need someone to keep me accountable!

My story:

I grew up as an active child and teenager and never had a weight issue. After I became in engaged in 1990 (at age 19), I started putting on the weight. I kept gaining weight and by 1999 (at age 28) I weighed 208.

At that time I visited a bariatric doctor and by watching my fat grams, calories, water consumption, and taking phentermine, I lost 70+ pounds.

The weight stayed off about 3 years and then I started gaining again.

My all time high, as of a few months ago was 219. I've lost 6 pounds, which puts my present weight at 213.

I'm excited to meet cool folks who are willing to give and receive encouragement and motivation on this journey!

welcome to the site...

Hopefully you're taking this journey pill free...

Do you know what caused the weight gain after you had lost it? had you not learned new habits? or was it something else? having that answer will make you more successful this time around,

Do spend some time reading teh stickied threads - there's a lot o good information to be had..

Welcome the forum I think you and I are close to the same age. I think you'll like it here and find alot of support. Have you found the diary/journal section yet? I'm newer here myself and I started one there and I'm amazed how much it has helped...way more than I'd ever thought. Well thanks to all the amazing people here that give some great advice. Good luck and hope to see you around!
