I'm new .... . My doctor has informed me that I need to lose 80 lbs to be at a healthy weight. I now weight 245. Any suggestions on how to get started moving. My biggest problem is that I'm not active enough. Any advice will do... I know I have a weaknest for breads and sweets. But I've made up my mind....I'm gonig to do it!! :smile:

    this might be funny, but one of the ways I stay motivated is by watching the biggest loser while working out :) lol

    Hey!

    You've taken the first step just in deciding to change your life - go you!

    I'm not an exercise lover naturally, but I find group classes really motivating. Especially Zumba because you're having so much fun you barely notice that you're working out!

    Good luck!

    Hi Felicia!!

    I'm 46 and started where you are .. My dr walked into the exam room in November and told me I wasn't going to be able to give my new Hubby the 30 years I promised!! You *CAN* do this!! Rememebr we didn't get ourselves into this yesterday and we can only make changes one day at a time!

    We are all here for each other!

    Find something fun- dancing, Zumba, and get into it! Music is a huge factor for me, if I have good music I'm all set.
    Track your calories- this is the BEST website for it, and just watch what happens! Be consistent, and you can do this!!

    I am new to MyFitnesspal. It is a great idea to keep track of what you eat and what exercise you do everyday. I thank my daughter for reminding me everyday to go to myfitnesspal and input what I have done each day.:love:
