Hi All
I am sorta new to ivillage and really new to this board. I am a thespian by trade but too much time in front of the computer creating screenplays has spread to my rear. I need to lose about 150 pounds give or take 10 pounds. Any one have any ides how to get started when there is so much ground to cover.

Hi Reagan!
I don't have any ideas on getting started other than you've completed the first step in recognizing you need to change somehow.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Glad you could join us !

There are so many different diet plans, it is confusing on picking a starting place. I suppose the sensible beginning would be to talk with your doctor...? Of course the last two doctors I have had have said "you know what you need to do..." Gee, thanks, doc. Of course it is true, but a little support would be nice. I'm going back to my doctor this week to discuss some details, and am joining a plan that is run through a hospital, so SHOULD be healthy.
Feel free to post any questions here; everyone is so nice and helpful! I'm sure you will like it here.
Take care!

i love your name, that is going to be my first little girl's name...when i ever have her.
I am new here myself and also had about 150 pounds that I wanted to lose before I started what I have entitled my "journey". I can only say tht I agree with the last post and the way I have done it is 10 pounds at a time. What I do is for every ten pounds I lose, I reward myself. This last ten pounds I lost is gonna get me the sunglasses I had been wanting. The ten pounds before made it possible for me to fit in the skirt I had been wanting to buy for Easter, so I bought it. Who knows about the next ten pounds...I just work toward the goal so that I get a reward. I am a comfort eater by nature, but I try to stick to my Granny's saying (even though she was a pudgy lady herself) "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels" My MIL also encourages me because she is doing the same thing I am...a reward for every ten pounds...between me and you, and I really busting it to lose this next ten cause I promised myself I would treat myself to the new Harry Potter movie as soon as I get it off!! God Bless, Jessica
