The research actually shows that the more times a person tries to achieve something like permanent weight removal, the more likely he or she is to eventually succeed. Each attempt shows that you haven't stopped thinking about it, and that you cared enough to try, and each time you try, you learn more about yourself and are able to do better the next time. I read something recently that said the #1 predictor of whether a smoker will eventually quit is how many times that person has tried to quit. The same seems to be true for weight loss, and I've seen evidence of it on many blogs & in my own life. I'm also in the process of removing weight I already gained and lost more times than I'd like to count. But I'm inspired by the knowledge that people eventually do remove the weight and keep it off, and I know that I will never give up on myself. It sounds like you aren't going to either. Good luck, and I'll be wishing you the very best in your journey! I'm out there with ya!

When I was losing the weight before, I really thought it was easy! Then I got happy with where I was and it's all been downhill (uphill?) every since. Thank you for your support!
