9 months postpartum and not where I want to be...

Hi, this is my second day using the site. I want to lose 16.5kg. I love food but overeating has become a habit and after being unhappy with my body for so long I thought I better do something about it! A bit nervous that I won't stick to it. Are trying to keep below 1490 calories. So far so good.
