Hey Lady Nascar -
You seem to have a great starting attitude...this is a lifestyle change, you've gotta just do it...all great steps to keep in mind.
Keep posting! You may want to visit our "Exercise Accountability" thread in the "Exercise" forum...just posting every day goes a long way toward keeping you accountable while you work on making exercise a habit.
Otherwise, find a spot and settle in. Can't wait to get to know you better!
