My name is Sue. I have never blogged before in my life! I am 67 years old, and very over weight. Need to lose over 100 pounds. I have type 2 diabetes and COPD. I can not keep going the way I am. Sometimes I feel like I am dying a little more each day.

    My advice first and foremost would be to consult your doctor.

    Other than that - start out here: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided

    Focus on logging your food and eating less - as that's the hard part.

    Hi Sue. Don't worry about blogging. Just make sure you stick around and enjoy the ride. So many start and we never hear from them again. Read all of the forum stickies. Those are the important posts at the head of every section written by the owners/managers of this forum.

    There's some very nice groups going that you might enjoy. Others will be there beside you for support. Whatever you do don't overwhelm yourself in the beginning. After you find your sea legs you might learn to enjoy all of the finer points about weight loss and maintenance. It takes a great deal of time so don't opt for some brutally strict protocol.

    Aim for .5 lbs a week. Track your data points daily. You're going to learn all about the deficit.
