Going on a month of my weight loss journey :)

So after reading various posts on here I thought it would be helpful if I joined in to find others that can help me stay motivated. I've added a few others to MFP but none of them keep up with it or they complain about their weight but eat nothing but fast food 3x a day

The start of my weight loss journey began 32 days ago when something in me just snapped. I looked at myself in the mirror, and while I've always been disappointed in what I saw, I decided I was finally going to do something about it. I've always been heavy so I guess I just got used to it, and I've always told myself I was going to exercise everyday and eat better but that would last a whole 2-3 days. This time when I made the decision to get healthy I told everyone I know. I told my husband, my family, friends, anyone who would listen to me really..something I had never done because I was always so embarrassed to talk about my weight issue, especially with my husband since he is very athletic. This definitely helped me hold myself accountable and so far I have exercised for 32 days straight and counted my calories everyday. I began by just walking on the treadmill for 30-60 mins, then I added in workout videos from fitnessblender.com and now I'm on my third week of T25 and have lost 15lbs as of today

Anyway, I'd sure like some support from others who are going through the same thing. My starting weight was 245 (gah, I know), and my short term goal is to lose 35-40lbs by the end of january, and my long term goal is to lose 100lbs in about a year
