Welcome! This is a great place to be. There are some really awesome people here. My suggestion would be to do some browsing and read a lot of the success stories of women and men who have reached goal, and read about how they did it. Browsing the maintainer's forum is also a good idea too, because you can see how people approach eating on a long term basis, as this is a lifestyle change, and not just a diet. Just have fun, enjoy the journey, we're all in it together
