    Welcome!!! I love this site too!! Being able to really follow my calories is what ultimately helped me lose my weight!! Just take it slow and have "small goals"....I usually set myself a 10# goal at a time, that way all the weight I needed/wanted to lose didn't seem so overwhelming! Now, I'm getting close to a maintenance phase because I'm actually at a good body fat% and my body is resisiting lose much more weight. Just taking it 5# at a time now but mostly focusing on inches instead of that number on the scale.
    Best of luck to you!!!!

    Welcome to MFP! I've found this site to be incredibly valuable to me in my own fitness journey - that only started recently!

    I'm not in the same age range (will be 30 this month), but I'm always looking for new friends. Just include a message if you send me a friend request. :D
