    the only thing I would suggest is one day at a time :) there are some fantiastic people on here - you are NEVER alone day or night if you post something, someone, somewhere will be online and be there to help you, good luck - you'll get there - if its any hope, I got married 9 years ago - got pregnant soon after and dress didnt fit again - I can only just now fit back into it - and Love it - you can and you will do it x x x

    Welcome to the site! I am fairly new myself. You are going to love this site. Full of encouragement and if you use the tracking system every day, it really should be fail prooff. I find that the more often I log in, the better I do throughout the day. I am aware more of where my calorie count is. I know some people out there are not fans of calorie counting and I wish I wouldn't have listend to them. I was amazed how fast those calories add up. You have taken the first step just by joining...now let's get moving!! Good luck to you!!

    Nice work on getting back into the dress! This is my anniversary month and while I probably won't fit it into this year... I WILL next year!
