Just getting started

Hello, I'm about to complete my first week with MyFitnessPal. It's been a struggle for me the last three years with my weight. I lost my mother 3 years ago to cancer. This week is the three year anniversary. She was my best friend. Not a day goes by that I don't cry and think about her. My weight has bloomed out of control weighing 200 lbs. I've always cared about myself but no matter what I do nothing seems to matter anymore. I have a great husband beautiful daughter and brothers and sisters that I'm very close too. I'm hoping getting my weight under control will help me feel alive again. I'm very excited about this app and the accountability it holds. I look forward to words of encouragement and tracking my success.
