You made it here, that is a great step! Log everything you eat so you can see what is happening, be honest with yourself. Ask questions, read for answers. Add me if you want a friend for the journey.0

I know how you feel
I just started too and I don't feel like I am going to lose weight because I don't feel hungry usually. I know that I will reach my goal though!

walk, walk with that beautiful dog, keep going farther as it gets easier
take progress photos, measurements
