40lbs!! Inspiring my family to eat healthier & exercise!

I have finally hit the 40lbs mark! It seems like it has taken forever since I have been taking care of my mother for the past 4 weeks. She has been living with me while I help her recovery from major abdominal surgery. I have managed to help her lose 5 lbs in the process with just diet alone. Once she can start walking more and she goes home she plans to start walking with my younger sister. Both of which are very overweight and I'm so proud that they are taking some initiative. My mom has been looking at calories of things and turning them down on her own. It makes me so proud of her. 3 months ago all she would say to me is, 'You're never going to lose a lot of weight. We're big boned and will always be heavy.' I think she is finally realizing that it can be done and that I'm doing it. :D


Also, I could use some friends here to help keep me motivated! :D
