Welcome Deedee. I'm with you in that I have a lot of weight to lose also. My ultimate goal is so far away I cannot focus on it. I set small goals, to which I focus on. Eventually all my small goals will add up to my long range goal. You have to start out small, making 1 change at a time. I think you will love this thread. It is full of motivation, encouragement and inspiration. Good luck in your venture of getting healthier. Sandy
