Hey Terriesin! You've made your first step to join here and get healthier, so that's half the battle gone! I agree on meeting the smaller goals first, so for me, it's just aiming to lose 2 pounds a week, and measuring up my fitness performance against the one before.

The important thing is to never give up, and just keep at it! You'll do great!
