Trish you can do it!
A piece of advice:
Don't set yourself too big a target on the weight loss. It should be about being healthier not the number on the scale. Instead of aiming for a weight loss aim to change something. It's working for me. When I aimed for the numbers and didn't get there i just got down on myself and I'm an emotional eater, so up goes the weight. Baby steps. Make little changes each week and don't get too hung up on how long it takes. It should be a lifestyle change, something that you can do forever. For me changing the way I shopped made a HUGE difference. I only shop once a fortnight to a menu. We use longlife milk and I freeze or make the bread. I found this stops me impulse buying the fat and sugar stuff. I also don't buy biscuits I make them it's better for me and the kids and I don't eat so many.

I hope I don't sound rude and know it all. This is what is working for me. After years of YoYoing I need to do something which isn't a diet.
