Karen well done with the initial weight loss. It shows it can be done with determination.
You have my sympathies with piling it all back on. We have all been there I'm sure.
The most effective measure I have found to help me with weight loss is keeping a food diary for a week or two to see where the extra calories are coming from.
Its then easier to determine what your daily carorific intake should be and eat accordingly. I have found counting calories the easiest way for me because I tend to have occasional binges and sneak in hidden calorie snacks like cuppasoups
You will probably be amazed at how many 'hidden' calories you consume daily . I know I was . Just a single chicken mayo sandwich at lunchtimes amounted to 475 cals which is 2375 calories per week ie 3/4 lb
then just 2x biscuits per day is a further 1500 cals per week
I now eat 2x apples a day instead and have cut out 3875 calories per week which is roughly equivalent to 1 lb
