Any one with Special Needs kids?

Hello! I know a weight loss journey is hard enough, but when you add a little extra stress, is even harder. I have 8yr old fraternal twin boys who were conceived through IVF. One of them has Down Syndrome. We found out at the 20wk mark that there was a chance he could be Downs, but did not do any additional testing to find out for sure. We knew we would love him just as much no matter what! We have been pretty blessed so far that he has not had many health issues. He did have heart surgery at three months, but once that was cleared up, he was good! We are just now working on potty training, going very slow, but getting there. The biggest issue is he is still not talking at all. He communicates a little other ways, but still very frustrating most times for me and him. But he is my gift from God and both my boys are the light of my life.
If is hard setting goals for yourself when you have kids, and double that with twins, then add even more with a special needs child. So if there is anyone else out there in the same situation, would love to hear from you and even become friends! I started out about two weeks ago at 230 and my goal right now is 160.
