Good on ya! The first week or so will be wobbly then you'll get into the swing of it. Have patience and take it one day at a time. Good luck!

I was always the fattest family member, so I know that feel. I lost all the weight and am now the smallest. Never thought I would live to see that day.

Anyway, it will take a lot of patience and perseverance. My highest weight was around 270lbs at 5'5". I am now 130lbs. I started losing weight without any real work on my part until I was around 215-220 and stayed there for about two years. Finally, Labor Day weekend 2013, I got serious and it has been coming off at the rate of around 1lb a week since. There were a lot of ups and downs, a lot of times where I would get 'stuck' for weeks and wonder why was I retaining all this water and/or not losing weight, but STAY THE COURSE. If you are honest with yourself about what you are putting in your mouth and not going over your allotted calories for the day, you WILL lose the weight. May not be as fast as you want and definitely won't be linear, but have faith and you will be rewarded.
