What did you do to loose them ?
If you did not make a backup of either your favorites or your computer then I fear you have lost them and will need to gather new ones.

For the future:
if you want to backup your favorites, then you will have to export them:
Internet Explorer:
To export the Favorites folder, follow these steps:

  • Start Internet Explorer.
  • On the File menu, click Import and Export, and then click Next.
  • Click Export Favorites and then click Next.
  • Click Favorites and then click Next.
  • Type the name of the file that you want to export the favorites to.
Then you can import them anew when you loose them.

Easier:
For instance if you would use Firefox as browser you can use sync to have all of your favorites on all of your computers.
Your favorites are backed up on your cloud sync account and can be seen on every computer where you connect your sync account.

Hope that helps you.

Would you like to back up a copy of your Garmin Nuvi 1250 Favorites and Waypoints?

Backup and Restoration Procedure for Favorites:

  1. From the Nuvi drive, copy '/Garmin/GPX/current.gpx' to a backup location on your computer.
  2. After a hard reset or loss of data, copy your backed up 'current.gpx' from your computer back to the '/Garmin/GPX/' folder on the Nuvi, but be sure to rename it 'temp.gpx'.
  3. On the next power cycle, the Favorites will be read from 'temp.gpx' into the non-user accessible memory area on the Nuvi where they are actually stored.
I hope that helps.

Garmin 2460 - when I upgrade the maps, I lose all stored favorites (except Home) and it's a pain to re-enter. Any way to avoid this?

Yes, back up your favorites. First, your GPS really should not be losing your favorites during an update (some firmware upgrades can cause this). We have written a procedure to back up your favorites should you lose them. The procedure can be found here:

Restore favorites

If you have backed up the computer (the entire users folder), your favorites are under users, the name you have for your account, and then favorites. Just copy this list back to the C drive (users, the name you have for your account, and favorites) from your back up. Now all your favorites are back.

I cannot get my favorites back in IE

Try doing a System Restore.
Click on Start - Programs - Accessories - System Restore and click on a Restore date before you lost your favorites.
When the computer re-boots then your Favorites should be back.
