Hello guys i'm new!

Hey there!!!! I am here for ya!!!! That is a big challenge and it is awesome that you are taking it on. The joy that the weight loss will bring you is indescribable Good luck!!!! Remember to have a big support group behind you and things that motivate you on a day to day basis.

congrats on the 7lb loss! that, along with joining this site, are great first steps my suggestion is to sit down and figure out what your short-term and long-term weight and fitness goals are and write them out. keep them where you can see them so you don't lose track of what you're trying to accomplish. make sure you add track daily intake and output on your list of goals because that helps more than you can imagine! i'm brand new to this site and i love it so far! everyone is so helpful and positive that it really makes me feel like i can do this no matter what - its as easy as tracking my intake/output. i'm going to send you a friend request so we can help each other

I think ZUMBA would be great as well. Also look into cycling or spinning. It is an intense exercise but not as hard on your hips and knees as walking can be. If you are part of a gym look at step classes as well. They are high cardio workouts that are in a group setting which can help motivate you. You can also make friends that way and class instructors always have great workout ideas as well.
