I also lost seven half stone in 2005. In less than six months I was pregnant and have since piled on ten stone! I tried to restart so many times, but I finally found my focus January 17th and have been 100% since then and managed to shift 52 pound so far. I hope that this is the last weight loss journey I go on and that I am able to maintain for life. On previous attempts I have ignored maintenance thread, but not now, it is my most read part of the forum as I want to learn all tips,hints and skills I can so I feel prepared to start my new slim life!
