Ready to live my life again.

Hi All. I'm new here. I went on a wonderful weekend getaway this weekend and I was so disappointed with what has happened to my health. My husband and I went for a walk on the trails and I was so exhausted. I used to be able to walk for hours. I'm not sure when I stopped paying attention to myself, but I can tell you when I got off that trail I knew it was time to take a look. I am ready to get my life back. No more staying inside. No more avoiding social events because I am afraid of people talking about the weight I've gained. I am hoping this site will be a place of support. If anyone has some words of advice for me on my first week I sure would appreciate it. I have 115 pounds to lose. It feels like such a long way to go. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Stac

Stac,

Good for you! The walking will get easier with practice and as the weight comes off, obviously, and you'll get the ol' self back! An important first step, deciding to DO IT. Now just keep it up, and you'll get there!
