You are on the right track. I had a trainer 4 years ago and together we discovered that I like to workout and get physical but doing the same routine bores me and then I slack off and quit. He challenged me with a different workout every two days. I was working with the trainer for three days and on my own the rest of the time. Keep in mind your body will be sore but you will be better off in the long run. I was grateful for the muscle strength training, because little did I know in 2008 I would have to learn how to walk all over again after suffering a septic infection that left with arthritis in both knees. I tell you this because I walk up to two miles on treadmill in 45 minutes, no medication at all, no pain, I took Tai Chi for six months. My doctor does not understand me, but tells me to keep doing what I am doing and don't tell his patients, because I will put him out of a job. I have 45 pounds to loose now because I ate my way through a bitter custody battle for my son. I lost and I am now just starting to get my old fighting spirit back to battle the bulge now. I assume that Apollo is a dog/cat. According to what I just read that is a good choice to help you keep the weight off. Also you are never alone because you a princess and your father is the KING (God), remember that every time you think you are lonely. Now stand tall and remember you are a royal and you must get that body back into royal attire befitting a princess on her wedding day and everyday afterwards. (PS: You will love the way you look in that new wardrobe and absence makes the heart grow fonder especially with an new attitude and new lingerie.) (Smile honeymoon attire) Tip: Get some ground flax seed and and start sprinkling over your food, my trainer had me start with that and it helps with the weight loss. Remember work at your own pace this is not a sprint but a marathon that will last you a lifetime. Small changes everyday will make the difference and the payoff will be wonderful.  

Thanks for the support :D It feels good to get your life back on the right track doesn't it? You sound like you have the strength it takes to fight (not eat!) through anything, so all the best in your rebuilding! And thanks for the flax tip, I will definitely give that a try!
