    Good Luck!! The first step is always the hardest and if you start by just cutting out the simple "bad foods" its the easiest way to maintain and keep losing weight. I started off by just cutting out my chocolate, then the sugar out of my tea etc etc. Now I have lost 22.3kgs with the help of Weight Watchers (just counting calories/points) and also the Biggest Loser Club. I have only just swapped over to MFP as I wanted the help & motivation of people being able to see what I eat and also to keep me accountable to make sure I don't eat that huge slice of cake as everyone can see that. ;)

    Hello Mara

    I also need to lose half of me!! Your story struck a chord with me, and I'd love to have an Aussie friend (literally half way around the world!!)

    Hi Mara,
    congrats for taking that first step. It's hard to succeed if you're not ready. It's baby steps, and don't forget that and get discouraged. We all need to get healthy and beat obesity!!! Way to go you'll do great!!!!!! You can also add me as a friend. I'm also new to this.

    I relate to so much of what you wrote. I'm about 10 lbs away from losing "half" of myself, too. And if I can do it, I know anyone with a dream, a plan and a commitment absolutely can, too. Just remember to allow for the passage of time. A year from now, you will look like a different person. Feel free to friend me :)
