Shawna!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad you are joining this board. It truly is amazing and inspiring. You sound like you are blessed with an amazing son and an amazing husband as well. You are probably very amazing too.
There is a ton of help to be found here. I recommend you think about a plan you want to use. Take a look at the different diet plans on here and find the one you think you can stick to for the rest of your life. For me, it happens to be calorie counting. It sounds tedious, but after doing it for a little while, it's actually not hard at all! I have met a ton of amazing people on that group and there are many who have lost a great deal of weight and have kept it off for many years.
Try to increase your activity level. I highly recommend using a pedometer to measure how many steps you take a day...then, try to increase every day or every week. You'd be surprised at how quickly you can make the change.
Never give up! We all have our ups and downs but it is the consistency that counts in the long run.
See you soon on here!
