Hello, I'm a newbie.

Well I'm new to the site not to exercise. I have been working on losing weight for a while now. I was so close to my goal weight then my husband came home from deployment and I gave up for a while. I then put on almost all the weight that I lost back on. I have lost another almost 50 lbs. I still have 32lbs to go. I have been working on doing different things to try and "trick" my body but I have been stagnant for a while now. I'm hoping to find help and support here to get the last little bit off.
