you can do it, and you have much less to lose this time than you did last time. i highly recommend reading joel furhman (sp?) "eat to live." i really feel i could never be overweight again after reading that book. [ Reply | More

thank you. i feel so despondent. that first weight loss was such an achievement for me. i had been overweight all my life and was finally fit at 34 (i'm 44 now). it was nice to be like "normal" people. also, i am sorry to say that sometimes i feel like food is my one pleasure in life. i am an emotional eater and need to overcome that once and for all. i will certainlyy look for that book. thanks for the help.

or: i hear you. i lost 40 pounds in college. same deal - emotional eater. i feel it creeping up from time to time and have to nip it in the bud. you haven't failed, this is just something to overcome. you'll be better once you get past it. seeing a therapist or reading about ways you can accept that you have the right to enjoy your life might be helpful. don't sell yourself short!

You'll get there, be gentle with yourself. I'm 5'4 and I just started WW. I was 153, I lost 3 pounds last week. My db is 10 mo, so I am hoping to lose about 25 pounds too. Good luck! [ Reply | More

Try weight watchers online. You only have 30 lbs to lose. You can do it. I'm 5'3 and I just got down to 122. [ Reply | More
