Hi,

I don't know where to start.

Hi there! Welcome! I would suggest finding a "lifestyle" change that will fit you best, ex: calorie counting, carb counting, etc. I did it by calorie counting. I had tried atkins in the past, but i just gained back twice as much twice as fast. It was sad. :( But do some research, review the "lifestyle" plans out there and see which one you would feel most comfortable with! I call them "lifestyle" plans b/c you must change your lifestyle. A diet is temporary, and many have fallen victim to going back to old habits after reaching goal.

Welcome, glad to have you join us. I suggest you look for a Support Group or Challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one that inspires you or fits your needs, and just post to join.

Hi Cin. I had trouble starting too, but I found that the best thing for me was just that first two workouts. They totally gave me a mental boost that I desperately needed. I started eating a lot better too and I dropped 10lbs in 4 weeks. It has stayed off even though I cheated a few times.
Just think of how good you will feel when some lbs drop off from your hard work.
Just give yourself that kick in the butt and you will do great! Good luck and you know you can do it!
