    Good luck lady. Just don't quit and you'll get to your goal. Think about the little steps and not the big picture. Also be kind to yourself. Don't be harsh.

    You can do this! Focus on healthier choices and learning about all the great things your body can do like running a mile or lifting 50 pounds or even just moving more than you did yesterday. Good luck! You got this!!
