Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: I love sweets! I will eat great all day, and then eat a giant piece of chocolate. So frustrating!

Following any specific plan: Using FitDay to count calories, and trying to exercise every day (walking at a moderate pace 1-2 miles).

What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I have more incentive. I am getting married in September, and have put on 30 pounds since my fiance and I got together in 2006. I just want to look and feel my best on my wedding day (and remind him why he fell for me in the first place!).

Anything else you would like to share with us: I lost 90 pounds 5 years ago (I went from 245 pounds to 155 pounds). I do not EVER want to get up to that weight again, so I am REALLY motivated to nip this in the bud. I had a friend who I walked with every night back then, and I really miss having that support. I am hoping that this online forum will help me to stay accountable.
