It's easy to get disheartened when you're trying to lose weight, especially if it's for a medical issue that you've only recently been diagnosed with. There's so much more going on that has to be dealt with on a daily basis. For what it's worth, 25lbs is fantastic. That is quite the achievement. You've worked hard to attain that, it would be a terrible disservice to yourself to put it back on. You've come so far.
From going to WW meetings, I've learned there are a pile of women who have lost weight over the years and kept it off. And I agree with the above post. Extreme diets don't work in the long term. If you have no support around you, it isn't going to happen. And if you have a damn good reason to lose it, lose it you will. And you'll keep it off because that reason will lurk in your head every time you think of giving up. That's my experience anyway. We believe in you!!
