I just wanted to introduce my self I am Mary from Alabama. I am 53 year old and female I have a lot of weight to lose and not sure how to start. I just joined today and have found a lot of interting things going on. I am so excited about finding out about this site.

Welcome Mwes!

Thank you for the kind replies. I am so inspired by the different forums and the support of the people on this site. I just checked the bmi chart and I am at 48.06 which i know is way too high. I am starting a 1500 calorie diet today and I hope that I can stick with it.

Well,if you feel like you are going to falter, just come on here and there will always be people to talk you through it. Good luck!

ok I think i will do that been coming back all day when i was tempted to stray

It's a very friendly place & inspiration is everywhere! (I'm new too.)
