Hi there - I don't know how active this board is but I am do know the pain of losing a child, I too lost my daughter. I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words. Take one day, one minute, one second at a time, I won't say it ever gets better but it does get easier - I know that is hard to believe. I've found that using MyFitness Pal and diligently recording my food every day has helped me to lose weight and maintain it. But as you say, I started last March and have lost about 25 pounds. However for the last 5 months, i've basically not been trying very hard and gained back five of them. I'm back on track right now (as of the January 2) isn't everyone after new year. Good luck, keep the love of your daughter with you always.
