Hi all. I'll be on vacation at the end of June and really need some encouragement to slim down. I need to lose about 40 lbs but that's not going to happen in 3 months. I'd settle for 20, I'd be thrilled with 20! Last month, my father passed away suddenly and I've felt less than energetic and a little lost lately. My husband and children have been wonderfully supportive. I need to find the courage to go on, change and live life to the fullest.
