    I was just over 400 when I started. There's nothing fancy to do besides investing in a kitchen scale and being ready for the long haul. I entered in my stats and got to logging my calories. I'm down 120 so far (there were a few stalls thanks to life being... Life.). Be committed to yourself. In the end it's you that's going to be changing for the better.

    First of all I'm proud of you for taking the first step. I weigh 273 lbs, and I made a commitment to myself too log into myfitnesspal every single day. I'm over 100 days now. I have lost 7 lbs. Go slow, don't do anything to discourage yourself. Go for short walks, and do that for a week, the next week walk to the next mail box. Look at everything that you don't see when you drive your car, listen to the birds, look at the flowers. You will find it's not so bad. Sure it's hard, but really think about it, is that sandwich really worth it? Smile and enjoy all the new things that will be happening to you.
