Hello! When I started my weight loss journey, I was at my heaviest = 389 lbs. I have lost 21 pounds so far. It feels like just a drop from the massive bucket of weight I need to lose. I agree that every day is a challenge to keep your mind positive and motivated. If your budget allows it, I highly recommend seeing a…
