To all, HAPPY THANKSGIVING I am thankful to be here now and still be able to make a change in my life for a healthier life. A life I can be proud to share with my little o

I have not given up on my weight loss journey, but life makes it difficult. I have not been keeping up watching this season of The Biggest Loser.
