I am the exact same !! I also have 3 kids: 7,4,2. I have always been a stay at home mom til, a crazy situating with my husband changed everything, Im 5'7 and at my biggest was 267 when I started on Dec13,2016. Today i weighed in at 242. Its possible, do not panic !! It will take time. You can do this. I still have a long way to go. I have always been a horrible eater and barely moved, but now I hope to show my kids that being active and eating better is a more positive way of life for us all. Sweets is my biggest craving, I love chocolate ! I have started to eat a single square of Natural Dark Chocolate a day to help me curve my cravings. So far it has helped me.0
