Hello. I'm new.
I don't have a huge plan besides running and counting my calories. I have about 80 lbs to lose to get the my wedding day weight 7.5 years ago, I thought I would start with 20 lbs. Most of the weight came after first pregnancy...and then another pregnancy...and then I dieted like crazy (last year) lost 20 lbs and then got it all back. I think it's because I didn't do it the right way...:huh:

Any advice how to avoid the rebound affect? Thanks!

I think it helps to stop thinking of it as a diet. Try to make this a lifestyle change, because even when we are at our goal weight, it takes work to maintain it. I find it helpful to find healthy substitutions for the foods I love. Before you know it, you will have lost weight AND will have adopted healthier habits!
