I started following calories again from August 14 2013. I've managed to lose 3 lbs so far, hopefully I will keep it up! I previously lost about 40 lbs back in 2009 and I've been sporadically on and off diets since, although the last year or so I have to say I've really left myself go. 207 is my highest weight so far.
As for my background... I'm 24 and have the most wonderful caring husband. We'll have been married two years in October. Although he loves me the way I am (and I believe him when he says so!), part of my motivation comes from the fact that I would love to look my best for him. Of course, that's not the main reason I'm losing weight but I've found it helps.
I'm sure I can meet some lovely people here. Plus it might give me that push to just keep going knowing so many others are going through the same thing too. Nice to meet you all!
