Hi guys... just looking for inspiration and motivation!

The title pretty much says it all. I need advice on how to start this process. What was your first step?

    I think you have already made the first step. Congrats! I just joined this site today. Everyone seems really friendly. Now we just need to set goals and work on meeting them. Baby steps. I'm going to start exercising, doing something, no matter how small everyday. You can do it!!

    This is a great place to find the motivation and support that you need. Don't get discouraged if you don't see the strides you'd wish to be seeing, but instead relish all your victories no matter how small they may seem at the time.

    Good luck and welcome!

    I guess you're right - this is my first step. I think my first goal will just be to get moving every day, even if its just for ten minutes. I stay on my feet when I'm at work and come home and collapse - I need to get on our treadmill or something!

    Thank you, Gillian!
    I'm just hoping this website is something I'll stick with - I've tried recording things in my notebooks before but it's just not the same. It's nice to have other people to talk to about it that won't judge me, because almost everyone here is in this for the same reason!

    I told a friend today to set small goals reach those and then set another. my goal was to keep tracking everything even when i know i didn't do well.
