Update - 11/13/09
Much has changed since I started on Sparkpeople in June. Almost 50 pounds gone.
Exercise - I started slowly, 5 minutes a day. Now my goal is to burn over 1000 calories, on average, a day. I can walk up stairs and hills without huffing and puffing.
Health - My legs and feet don't ache at night after I've been on them all day. No more acid reflux at night. My back is better. I am hopeful my BP is back in the normal range. I am ...

Much has changed since I started on Sparkpeople in June. Almost 50 pounds gone.
Exercise - I started slowly, 5 minutes a day. Now my goal is to burn over 1000 calories, on average, a day. I can walk up stairs and hills without huffing and puffing.
Health - My legs and feet don't ache at night after I've been on them all day. No more acid reflux at night. My back is better. I am hopeful my BP is back in the normal range. I am going to visit my doctors, after several years of putting it off because I was too fat, and didn't want to hear it. I have gone from "super morbidly obese" to "morbidly obese", which is a big step.
Food - I eat so much better than I used to. I still have my favorites now and then, but I count them. I watch my portion size. I have increased my fruits and veggie consumption. I always ate them, but now I eat more. I have cut down on my red meat and butter. I have added whole grains and brown rice to my diet.
Clothes - Yes, I am a clothes horse (as my dad used to say). Even though I hate to shop, I love clothes and fashion. I have dropped 3 sizes so far. But, the REALLY BIG sizes seem to take longer to drop. I know this from experience. (Any larger woman can tell you about this.) I am now a 22/24, and am really curious to see where I end up when I hit my goal. :D

6/09 I have been dieting most of my life, and want to make a lifestyle change, not go on a diet.
This is going to take some time, as my schedule is erratic, and I have gotten out of the habit of cooking.
I am starting my exercise program slowly - I have learned the hard way that if I start out too fast, I hurt myself and end up giving up after a week or so. My plan is to gradually increase my workout time to 60 minutes a day of _something_.
