    Welcome Eva!
    I have about 100 pound to lose, but I focus on each 5 pounds as a victory ... before you know it you are down weight and feeling better.
    Choosing good foods are important, but moving your body is probably more important (and it allows you to eat more too).
    Figure out a good exercise routine that you will stick to... it doesnt have to be 6 days a week (although its nice if it is) but at least 3x per week is a good place to start.
    Dont try to perfect.. none of us are... and find friends who can cheer your successes and pick you up when you fall.
    Good luck!

    Hi Eva...my name is Nancy. Welcome to the site! I'm 52 and also have quite a bit of weight to lose. I'm breaking it down to smaller goals and treating myself with a pedicure every 10 pounds! I've been on the site for a few weeks but I've been on the journey for a few months now. The site is great! I'd love to be your friend! :flowerforyou: Good luck to you in your endeavor!
