Don't give up. I know it's super hard. But you can do it!! 

If you give up, you will only hurt yourself. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and write a list of changes you need to make to reach your goals. Today is a new day. Really think about what works for you and put those practices into motion. Plan ahead. Cook ahead. Be prepared. No excuses. Go shopping for the right REAL foods. 

Don't give up, I've been fighting my weight gain for over 2 years now, but I'm still trying. I've had to stop due to knee surgery & just getting better from my latest foot surgery. I get frustrated because my boyfriend keeps saying how WE need to lose the weight, yet I'm the only one whose even trying! I want to give up and get even fatter simply because its just too hard at times, but WE'RE worth it, so just keep telling yourself your worth it & I'm not alone in this battle! Tomorrow is another day, you can do it...just reexamine your food intake & your exercise then begin again everyday. Hope you don't give up, it might get hard at times, but its all worth it in the end. 

I am using Sensa and was doing better than I have in ages however I was down to 209 (in April) and now back up to 215 and it hurts. With me it's pain - fibro, pinched nerves in neck and back, bursitis in hips. I don't have a pool anymore and water seems to be the one place I can do things. The closest public pool is about 15 minutes away however the financial means to join because I'm not in the same county is ridiculously high. Meanwhile the one that is in my county is an hour away. I am back on green smoothies today for breakfast and going from there. Thanks for your support. I am still just so frustrated. This has been going on for about 9 years now and the end result is that I had reached the highest weight in my life. I used to be 140-160 and I was good with that. I had energy, I was healthy. Now I'm back to 215 and just want to cry.
