Losing weight!
I'm almost 200lbs and I'm 5'7. I'll be moving to a new place and I would like a fresh start. I have a goal in mind but I don't know what to do to reach this goal.
I'm in the same boat as you are too. I'll be your support to help you, if you want?

We try to be a support system, for those who don't have family/friends who can be there for them.
dramanerd... what is your goal and how soon do you plan to reach it? Typically, starting slowing and making changes that you can live with is the first step.
For instance, eliminate soda from your diet and try to eliminate processed foods that contain extra sugar, white flour and rice, etc. Make water your drink of choice.
Often, we have to make only one of these changes at a time, but that's okay. Slow and steady, so you can stay with it. Chances are, you didn't gain all the weight at once, so you won't be able to lose it all at once, either.
Make sure you get some exercise every day... if nothing else go for a walk around the block a couple of times/day. Again, if you aren't used to exercising, start slow and work up.
You can both feel free to join our Weight Loss Challenge, which you can access via the following link:

and feel free to participate in the Sunday Weigh In, which I post every Sunday morning so we can discuss our progress (or lack of) and any concerns and successes we have. You can access yesterday's weigh in via this link:
