Falling off the bandwagon... again.

[Aeren]

I think I am a permanent member of the yoyo clan. I had lost weight over the past two years, and put most of it back on within a few months. I am under a ton of stress from school, and even tho I hit the gym occasionally I am ramping up the calories by eating fast food a lot.

I want to just give up, but I know I won't. I just need to get back on and try again. Its so frustrating to regress so much.

Anyone else have such problems?

I used to be like that- but now that I've lost a stone, I've been grappling to maintain weight before losing more, and this time it's working, even though I'm not exercising as much as I used to- school/ uni stress hasn't helped, but I'm still in an okay frame of mind for it.

Everyone, you can do this!

Thanks for the encouragment. I know I can do it if I just start treating it seriously again. Its hard to put myself first when I am working so hard in school.

I know your problem. For example, before my junior year of high school, I'd been working out and eating well for many months and had gotten down to 160 pounds (from about 175 pounds)

Then by the end of the first semester, I seriously had gotten up to 189 pounds.

The second semester and that summer I was able to get down to 170 pounds for the start of my senior year, and I was at about by the end of that first semester.

I've actually maintained very well since then, one year ago, and I've stayed at aroudn 185, withi a little fluctuation, but stilll...

sweatdrop Considering that I weighted 145 in my freshman year of high school, I've gained an average of 10 pounds a year, since I am now a freshman in college at 40 pounds heavier..
