Default New & dont know where to start.....

Hello everyone! I am in my late thirties and I am a mother to a beautiful (and very active) 3 year old little girl. I have a wonderful and handsome husband and a job that I love. ...but I am fat - I am tired of being fat. Trust is, I am tired all the time.
I have always been a little bigger than every one else and I am tired. I spent the first 38 years of my life being fat and it needs to change.
I have no idea where to start.....I did sign up for a weight control seminar at my local hospital. But I have no idea where to start...any help/advice would be apprecaited.
Thanks!

Maybe do some research into the different plans and see which one fits your lifestyle and budget. Try not to think of it as a diet, rather a change of habits. And good luck, you're taking the first step toward a healthier you!

Hi new_mommy63! You have made a good start in coming here! There is so much to learn here and so many good tips and recipes and advice. People are very supportive and encouraging. So browse around and jump right in! Be sure to check out the Diet Central section for ideas on what kind of weight loss plan might suit you the best, and I'm sure you'll learn even more from the weight control seminar. I wish you well! Good luck!

Default Welcome!!!

That is AWESOME that you are here and trying to determine what would work best for you. Sometimes it takes trying several diets to find one that suits you and your lifestyle the best. I am sure you will do great!!! Happy New Year!!!
