I'm glad that I've found this thread. I'm trying to lose 60 lbs to get my weight down to a health BMI and to lower my cholesterol, so that I don't have to go on drugs for it. I'm working with a dietician. In the first 10 days of my diet I lost 3.5 lbs which I'm really happy about becuase I didn't feel starving. It's just a huge adjustment to healthy eating and eating 4 small meals during the day.

I'm trying to start exercising too, but I need to buy a new pair of running shoes before I do that, and I keep procrastinating on that.

The hardest thing for me is cutting out cheese. I love all cheese with a passion, but it's really bad for cholesterol, so I'm stuck with basically 1% cottage cheese.

I know this is going to be a slow progress, but I really am committed to changing my lifestyle as I'm tired of being fat and out of shape.
