Ht. 5'8", Start: 179 lb, Today: 164 lb (BMI %tile: 83), Goal: 140 lb - I cant believe i have gained 10lbs in just over 2months! I was down to 154 at the start of August and now im back up to 164. I feel so fat and disgusting its unbelievable. The only thing that is comforting me is that fact that ive realised i need to get back on track before i ended up putting the other 15lbs i lost back on aswell. I dont know whats wrong with me, it seems the more i want to lose weight the more i end up gaining. Ive just let myself go and been eating far too much junk BUT it has got to stop. I want to get down to at least 150 by christmas which is doable if i lose a little more than a lb per week till then. Im aiming for around 1500calories on average per day with exercise 3-5 times per week. I need to do this.

Dont be so hard on yourself, I have done the same thing, and beating myself up only made it worse. Just let it go and start over with a clean slate. Think of it this way: YOu lost 25 lbs once... Whats 14 more lbs? just relax and get back on track.
