Hi Audi! I have a lot to lose in terms of weight too so I will be with you on that one! It is really hard to even contemplate the journey from the beginning of it, I understand that. I could not conceive of doing any exercise when I was at my biggest. But I started small, and lost some weight and gradually let myself do a little bit of exercise, then a bit more. I dont do much now, but I find that it is easier when I do.
This is a helpful place to check in and chat to people. Some of us are doing better than others at being OP, and that tends to change from time to time. It is a forgiving sort of environment, but also we all want one another to make it, so we encourage as well as commiserate.
South Beach is a great way of eating too, so better health awaits! I dont know how much better your back and hip will get (my knees dont hurt anymore, but when I was thirty pounds heavier they did hurt a lot). My guess is that your body will like the new regime (scary word...).
welcome.
