I started my weight loss journey a month ago, about 2 week after I lost my mother to cancer. As of today, I am down 10 pounds! I still have a lot to go, but my small success is keeping me motivated to lose more!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. My own mother died when I was 27. When you're ready, please get the book Motherless Daughters. It's very helpful.

    I lost mine to cancer as well in 2003. Looks like we planned the same journey to a healthier lifestyle. Feel free to add me; I check in three times a day and I never ever delete people for missing days, or weeks, or months... :flowerforyou:
