Hello!
This is a really friendly place, I find.
How are you planning to lose the weight? Me, I tend to the simplistic: Eat Less, Move more; but within that, I limit my carb intake. And I walk as much as possible: I use a basic fitbit and get 10,000+ steps in a day.
My history:
2002-2004: Lost 106lbs on portion control and walking alone, got to within 16lbs of target, got complacent and over the next 10 or so years regained 100lbs.
June 2015 - Easter 2016: Lost 79lbs, this time limiting the carbs. Diabetes nurse encouraged me to eat a few more "occasionally" but I find I'm very carb sensitive, and one biscuit or cake can start a binge. Was already struggling with weight regain when very elderly mother went into hospital and then died. Stress does not kill my appetite. I regained 52lbs.
Re-started Dec 28th 2016. From then til now have lost 9.5lbs. Eating plenty veg, a little fruit, no bread/rice/oats.
My only advice:
Either: Don't be like me! Keep your momentum up. It doesn't have to be a fast momentum, just don't do the massive rollbacks I've done.
Or: If you roll back, Be like me! There's always another day to rerestart on.
Good luck

). I also started using the My fitness pal app so that I was teaching myself about food and calorie control and Macros. By doing that, It means that I am better prepared to maintain.
