i'm new here

Hey! You definately came to the right place to lose weight! As for advice, the best I can give you is to take it one day at a time. Some times when we have a lot of weight to lose we can really stress ourselves out about it, but slow and steady is the best way to do it. Try to set yourself mini goals of losing about 5-10 pounds at a time.. they add up quicker than you would think! Also, this site has many many great tools to use, make sure to take advantage of them! Be sure and keep up with your calories and exercise and stay within the limits and weight will come right off (or it has for me so far). Also using the message boards is a great way to get encouragement/advice/vent about anything.. Don't be hard on yourself if you make a mistake - everyone does! Just try to work out a little harder the next day and eat better. You can do this! Best of luck! :happy:
