    You need to take it extremely easy at first. Four years ago I went from 372 (my highest ever) to 308 in about 7 months. In the first month or so, just focus on straightening out your eating habits and maybe start trying to walk a mile or two a day.

    Most important thing to remember at the beginning is not to hurt any ligaments or joints that aren't up the the task yet.

    You can do this, trust me. Once you set the fat in your body on fire with even a little effort, you'll be burning so many calories you'll feel giddy and your won't be able to STOP moving.

    FWIW, I kind of gave up after my girlfriend and I broke up a couple of years ago and I just stopped caring for a while. Then August 1st, I pulled my dusty scale out from under the bed and discovered I was 325. This morning I was 295.

    If you don't have a dog, consider getting one (and a FitBit). They're both a non-stop reminder that it probably time for another walk.

    I am to heave for a scale i needs to go to the hospital to get my weight. I do have a dog but i dont think he will walk far.

    Also, my 12 year old black lab was 75 lbs and on arthritis medication two months ago. Three days ago, she weighed in at 65 lbs at the vet and moves (with no meds) like she's 5 again.

    No excuses! If you don't have $30 for a scale, send me your address and I'll ship you this one from Amazon.

    I thank you for the offer and no i dont have money to spend on a scale but i would not want to put you out for me.
