Welcome Holly. Glad to hear your parents are supportive of your weight loss plan, it will make things a lot easier. You'll find lots of wonderful information here with recipes, motivation, medical and inspirational forums.

My sister collects pigs also. She has her whole kitchen done in little pig chefs from the cannisters down to the dish cloths.

You didn't say your age, but we have a lot of great young people that you can converse with to help stay motivated. Did you measure youreself yet? It helps to see just how much you are shrinking.

Best wishes!!
