Hi Rachel I'm new here too and like you, I'm taking it day by day. Sounds like you have a really positive attitude which will take you far. Good luck on your journey and I'm sure you'll be an inspiration to your girls.

Hello there, I have been at this 261 days now and have lost 87 lbs. It is hard but worth it. I was 340 lbs and addicted to food and soda. I stopped soda all together and have went from 5000 calories a day to 2000. You can do this. Good luck.0
