Mignon, Do you want any suggestions on how to lose the weight? I don't like to give advice unless you want it. I was studying to become a nutritionist but quit school to get married. Pm me if you want me to make up a weekly menu for you.

And- Read this if you are interested.
Buy yourself a pedometer or get an App. Walk at LEAST 10,000 steps a day for starters.

I just want to help. Sorry if I sound too forward.
