Be very careful if you are leaving the state with your child. His father may use that against you if you don't get legal advice first on it. You do need to get out of there. Just maybe not leave the state immediately. I would suggest looking for somewhere safe that is closer. There have to be programs in TN that can help…

Mine shrank a lot. But the good news is what I have is nicely toned. Exercise your pectorals and you should be ok.

Set realistic goals and follow them. Setting a calorie goal that is too low and leaves you hungry all the time will not do it. If you can work with a dietitian and or a trainer. That will save a lot of frustration. Drink more water than you think you need. Be consistent. Stick with it. It takes time.
