I just started my journey two weeks ago -- I am doing good, but your post is a great inspiration. Have you kept the same daily calorie goal since you started or have you adjusted it down as you lost weight? In addition to counting calories, how much exercise did you start with each week and what type of exercises? I have listed myself as sedentary as well, as I sit in an office or car all day.... So the exercise, other than walking on the treadmill, may be a challenge for me.

I have kept the same calorie goal since I started! But if I find myself stuck in a rutt then I will bump up my calorie intake a bit I hit it pretty hard when I first started. I have a pretty competitive nature, and I pushed my self a lot even when I was 250 pounds. I started with Tae Bo and I even threw in some circuit training some days. I wouldn't recommend doing that in the very beginning, I pulled a lot of muscles, and I'm too bull headed to quit, so I was in pain quite a bit for the first month. Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds is super easy and still delivers big results! It's a great workout to start with and slowly build up to the harder stuff.
