I'm new& looking for support &friends to support!

Hi everyone!

I am a 20 year-old married mom of 1 energetic boy. I recently moved to South Carolina, leaving behind my parents and siblings and my friends to come here to spend the few months my father in law has left on this world.

I am utterly miserable, let's not sugar coat it, my in-laws are very harsh about my weight and see no problem with picking on me.
My husband and his brothers grew up in a home where they were raised to only eat what was given to them and given lots of crap for ever being hungry.

I feel really bad for not liking my father in law, but with his life ending, he is severing all ties and being mean to everyone - especially me.

Needless to say, when I first moved here 2 1/2 months ago, I gained 10 lbs from stress of being overweight already (and it being thrown in my face like I don't have feelings.)

I am now back on track and looking to lose 80 lbs.

I would love to read stories of your own perseverance through your weight loss journey and love to hear advice for my own :)

Current stats;

sw: 242
gw: 162
height: 5'6''
frame: endomorphic
diet: paleolithic
most used exercise: walking/running.
