New to the board, 6 weeks in with results

Hi everyone! Went to the Dr for the first time in 4 yrs. She even had to accept me as a new patient all over again. I guess I just didn’t want to know the truth, the truth that I had let myself go. At 51 I am officially in the obese range. I haven’t even owned a scale in 20 years. The truth is, I had to be honest with myself to even begin to get in the mindset to lose weight. So I stopped on the way home and bought a scale. I started meditating everyday and cutting my calorie intake back to 1200 a day, got an Apple Watch, new running shoes and started walking on my treadmill 50 minutes per day while staying in a heart range between 116-126 at my Drs advice. I never broke a sweat I also felt like I could do the workout all over again. At the end of the week, I was down 2 lbs. so far I have lost a total of 13.9 lbs. my goal is 50.
