    I have successfully lost 76 pounds and have 14 to go. I would like to offer a few pieces of advice.
    Set small goals and when met take it up a step. It will keep you motivated to keep hitting your small goals.
    Can you try to get up 30-45 minutes early to get in a workout? I have 3 kids and by the end of the day I was totally wiped and never energy left to workout. Now that I am in the routine of getting in my workout at 5:30am then I feel so much better and it gives me more energy for the day. Also another thing to encourage you that the energy level and ability for exercise gets easier the more weight you lose.
    Is there anyone that is a friend that can be your accountability partner? Maybe someone that also wants to lose weight or get fit. It makes a world of difference to me.

    Good luck and stay focused. :)

    Congratulations on your choice and stating it boldly! Good for you. Check out the forums, don't beat yourself up, follow a few blogs you like. And track everything you eat. You'll be fine. Welcome to the neighborhood.

    My goal is 80 in 11 months, by the holidays this year. It's been a week and I have lost 7.4. I am so excited, hope you feel as motivated as I do, feel free to add for support/motivation! We can do this!

    Thank you everyone! I'm definitely going to try to start waking up earlier and getting my work out in before work. I'm up to try anything to keep me on track! (:

    I am an emotional eater too. Also eat when I'm bored. I need to lose 80 lbs. My goal is to lose it in 11 months. I am really struggling with exercising. Add me as a friend and we can motivate each other.
