If Paula Deen can lose weight, I can too dammit

[anlo]

I think I'm finally fed up enough with the way I look and feel to do something about it. Today I took my measurements, weighed, started tracking food and exercise on MFP, and worked out for the first time in about six months. I have over 40 pounds to lose. Posting on a public message board somehow makes it feel like more of a commitment, which is weird, but I'll take any help I can get.

Any advice or words of encouragement welcome!

Nice, making the commitment to start is important!
I just lost 45 lbs, and it didn't take any longer than 9 months, so I'm sure you can do it, too. Exercise and MFP absolutely worked for me.
Good luck!
