I am new to my fitness pal.

I am new to my fitness pal and am hoping that this will be my answer to weight loss . i have been fighting my weight to no avail for
some 32 years. I went to the doctor today and he suggested surgery . I don't want that. I want to do this on my own but cant so I need a person or place to hold me accountable. My goal is just this be healthy. I don't want or need to be model thin. I just want to be around to raise my kid and watch my future grandchildren grow up. I am only 42 years old. If you will encourage me I will do the same for you. I exercised for the first time in along time today. ONly made it 15 mins. so i definately have a long road to go down.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I am loving this site so far. It makes calorie counting and tracking exercise very easy.
