Hey Guys,
I need some support. For those of you who remember, I lost about 50lbs over the course of a few months last year because I got really sick and wasn't eating properly. I was hospitazlied, worked with a dietician and started eating better. Now, even though I lost so much weight, I was over-weight so it put me down to a healthy weight...so the goal was to maintain the weight, not put more on.
That was going pretty well until the last couple of months, where I've seen a steady gain...it's nothing major so far, only about 6-7lbs, but considering how steady my weight had been, it makes me concerned that it's just going to keep going up. It stresses me out because usually once I start gaining, I just balloon...and I have nobody to talk about it with because everyone thinks I'm overreacting.
So, I definately need to excercise more which I think should be easier now that the weather is finally improving, and I need to start watching what I eat more (hmm, maybe the nightly bowl of ice cream is not a good idea?) 
Will you guys help me?

Welcome. Feel free to do whatever you feel you need to do here. It's a pretty open concept here. Whether it's calorie counting, or food counting, or WW points, whatever. You can check out calorieking.com for nutrition information and calories for almost any food. That might be a good place to start. Ask Shell and maybe Laurel to help you get a BMI basal and then an activity level to see how many calories you should be taking in each day. I'll support you! I'm not a very good loser, but I'm here and hanging in there! BTW - I wondered if the London gals wanted to get together for lunch sometime. Check out the let's get together board. I was thinking, you, me, Laurel, Betharoo, and any Michigan folk that wanted to drive over. What do you think? Hugs, ALicia.
