Welcome! Remember you didn't get to this point in one day and realize it won't take one day to fix it. Take it one day at a time. I personally found little exercise goals worked best for me at the start. Always ppl here willing to help:flowerforyou:

Dude, welcome. The weight will come off. I was up to about 400lbs at the start of last year. When I joined this site I was 370. Just track everything that you eat or drink, and I mean everything. When I did that, I was shocked by how much I ate, and it was no problem to eat less. I have not cut anything out of my diet, and probably eat for to many "bad" things. But be honest about your weight and lifestyle when setting up your profile. Every time you drop weight, adjust your goals on the site. Set an easy goal of 1 pound a week. It is so much better to exceed your modest goal, rather than just miss a more lofty one. If I can do it, so can you!

Hullo? Johnnie? Oak Park Johnnie? You still there?
