Im the same way...6 years for me! up and down, up and down i felt like giving up many times but then i think of how hard i worked...just gotta keep going! 😆 

I lose 30, gain 40.. lose 40 gain 50.. I can lose, just not keep it off. Every time I start again I say I'm not going to let that happen, but it has every other time. Hopefully I can do it this time... good luck to you. I'm not sure what diet you are trying, but I find counting calories the easiest for me 

Nastacia what kind of diet are you trying this time....have you ever tried the keto or atkins diet....I feel that pain so much that you have...i was a yo yo for 25 years...I gave up weight loss till i become a big time dietetic and was destine to die in six months. my whole life changed with keto diet Jan 12th this year...think about it. 

Nastacia i forgot to tell you that you are wecome (that a great food for this diet) to eat your chicken wings in keto diet....but no french fries...and save me some chicken wings and i will be over to help you. 

I agree with Fred4Win. You might want to research a good nutrition plan you can stick with if you hope to lose weight. Low Carb High Fat works for me and many other people here. I am not advertising but a great website to learn more is: www.dietdoctor.com 

i feel for you, what is it they say...there is no failure except in no longer trying....so let's keep trying. :) 

My advice is to log every single food every single day, forever... 

I have been gaining and losing the same 30 pounds for over 30 year...but recently I lost 35, regained 10, but have kept the 25 off for 4 years! YOU CAN DO THIS1! 

weigh and measure everything that passes your lips, you can have a free pass on water :) Seriously when your weighing and measuring accurately not with your eye balls or tired handfuls out of packets is when I find things really start happening. Never trust scoops that come with food always use your own measuring thingy, they want you to buy more to keep them in business accuracy isn't what they are interested in. Unlike most people I don't think it matters who's ideas your following but being consistent is the most important thing, you didn't get fat in a day or a week xx  

I agree so much with logging everything. I did log EVERYTHING until I found that it just took up too much of my time, but from that experience I learned what a proper portion looked like and what I needed to eat so that I wasn't starving every 2 hours. I now use a VERY high level food log so that I can at least see what I was had and how I felt, but it's not so detailed that I'm tied to it. I'm happy to share it here - I have it up on my blog under freebies. I'm following more of a paleo/keto lifestyle, but this worksheet will work for anyone. Just modify it as you see fit. http://www.g7llc.com/iam/freebies/ Best of success!!! You can do this! oh, make sure to get enough sleep and water.
