Ready to get serious!

I am new here, I just joined, but so far I am really liking this site! I have been steadily gaining weight it seems for the past couple of years really and I was in denial I think but now I am ready to really get down to a healthy weight and stay there. I think for me, the hardest part was finally admitting that I have become overweight. Now that i have done that I am ready to do something about it! I have 45 lbs. to get there but I plan on being there before summer for sure!
