Tilly, not gonna lie, there's no secret to the weight loss... consume less energy than you use. I started with Slimming World and while the plan is easy and works brilliantly I got bored with having to listen to the same women bemoaning the same pound week after week whilst happily admitting to eating cheesecake. I had/have so much weight to lose... I just got in the zone and went for it.
I joined the gym as soon as I was fit enough from the operation and ended up getting a little obsessive about aqua aerobics of all things lol Some weeks I did 6 classes!
I still eat what others consider a very low calorie diet but I am of the mindset that I eat when I am hungry and then I choose to eat the right foods... simples. Loads of fresh fruit and veg... a few carbs [couple of slices of bread or a couple of weetabix]... meat, fish... job done! I still enjoy more than the odd glass of wine though lol
