Today this the day! And as they say the first of the rest of your life, so I am determined to make it healthier. I have been overweight for most of my life with a few brief moments of being in a normal weight range. At 47 and 8 stone over, my weight is beginning to affect my health. I can't ignore it any longer and most Morgantown I want to be around for my young son as he grows up. So here I go ... wish me luck and good luck to all of you out there too.

Hi and welcome headslim,

As this is your first day, may I suggest joining the Monday group weigh-in. It's an extremely friendly and supportive group of about 70 of us, all at different stages along our weight loss journeys.

Just reading the posts alone is very motivating and it's up to you whether you reveal your weight or not, there's absolutely no pressure.

Whatever you decide, all the best to you

Headslim, good luck on your quest. For anyone starting out, the 12 week plan is well worth looking at. There're many good reports of it's usefulness and it was my first step. I don't follow it verbatim, rather I use it as a good point of reference.

It's always good to start a journey with a road map to where you want to be, and the 12 week plan is just that. The people on this site are very supportive and will often offer some good hints on how to succeed when the going gets tough.

Good for you for making a start
