Newbie - need to feel better and lose weight!

[JaneEF]

I've just signed up because I feel so bad with my excess pounds. I know this is going to be a challenge and that it will take months to work off those bags of fat! I'm going to focus on portion size and begin to increase exercise today. Baby steps...

Welcome Jane.

Lots of sensible approaches. Recognising that weight loss isn't something that happens overnight, portion control and 'baby steps'.

Great start and all the best.

Dear JaneEF

Making a start is the best way to go . Have you decided on an action plan?

Really helpful to count calories and keep a food diary because you can then see clearly what needs to change

Wishing you every success

Welcome to the club, have you decided on your target weight yet? Having an overall target to reach helps to focus your mind and if its a large amount of weight loss then break the weight loss into mini-goals (maybe 7lbs every 2 months) so its not as over whelming total of weight loss as it might be.
