New and looking for support and help

Hi everyone I am 30 years old and have 2 small children I have a long way to go but am ready for it. I had back surgery almost a year ago and still haveing pain sometimes and i'm sure this extra weight isn't helping! Not sure excersies wise what would be good for me to do due to my back but I see physical therapy this week so I am hopeful. So I figure at least I can start with the healthier eating part of it tell the rest gets figured out. Looking for any helpful stories or simlar situations others have gone through and what helped them...:smile:
