You got a lot of good advice here but I'd like to add something..Firstly, I too have over 100 lbs. to lose, I've failed on every 'diet' I've ever been on and I think it's mostly because it's just so overwhelming. 100+ lbs. is a lot to lose, so this is what I suggest....

Don't look at your weight loss in terms of your ultimate goal. That can be too overwhelming and seem to take forever. Instead make a 60 or 90 goal. (I have a 90 goal and a chart I created - I estimated losing 2 lbs. per week and get weighed on a weekly basis with the goal of 8 lbs per week)

Concentrate on your short terms goals rather than your long term, ultimate goal.

OK...

I have a mini-goal and now I have a blog to keep track of myself.

Just have to keep reminding myslef that slow and steady is OK!

Thank you again everyone!
