hey im a new person of couse around thrity or more looking to loose 30 to 40 lbs any advice will be great. so far i started walking and trying to keep my calorie intake around 1200 not sure yet if this is to little or to much. i only walk a few days a week the other days i have school and a family so not much time for anything else.

Welcome to the 30's board!!
Starting off with walking is great, especially if you can manage to go about 3-4 times a week. It really will start to pay off, but be patient ;-)
Here are some other tips to get started:
EXERCISE is vital to any weight loss plan. Exercise will help you reach your goals quicker, and enable you to begin living a healthier lifestyle. Your energy level will improve drastically and you'll feel better!
WATER is another key element. It helps you feel full, and it also causes the fat to break down easier in your body (and leave!). Thirst often disguises itself as hunger, so when you feel hungry, try drinking a glass of water first. Wait 10-15 mins and if you are still hungry, THEN have something to eat. The standard daily recommendation is 64 oz, OR one-half your body weight in ounces.
JOURNALLING can be a major help in determining what changes need to be made in your food plan, as well as in your mindset. By journalling your food, your moods, and your reactions to different situations, you can easily see patterns that need to be broken, and begin the steps to do so. A good journal on line can be found at http://www.fitday.com
MODERATION is a huge component. And becoming our board motto! There
