Not New But Starting Over

So I've been a member of this site for a while, and I have some fantastic friends who encourage me. But, I haven't been sticking to any diet or exercise. Because of this, I stayed away from the website. I have never decided that I really want to make a change. But now as we head into a new year, I'm finally ready. I got everything organized to set myself up for success and created rewards for myself as I reach different milestones. I'm excited about this, and I know I will have good support, but more can't hurt!

I'm looking to lose about 55 pounds, maybe more if I feel I need to, but I'm more concerned with size than scale number.

So if anyone is willing to be a motivator I will be one for them as well!
