Newbie! Trying to lose 3 stone! Who will support me?

hiya! I've tried slimming world last year and managed to lose 2 and a half stone but after a car accident and being bed bound for a month or so I managed to put all the weight back on (with everyone buying me chocolate!) now I'm looking to lose that weight but to keep it off this time!

Any helpful hints and tips? Also would be nice to meet some fellow supporters!

Thanks
