I started out Jan 1, 2015 right where you started out. I really haven't been exercising, just minding my dietary intake. I'm happy with my progress, even though it has been slow, especially compared to some. But it's MY progress, and it is still on-going. This forum, and these folks, have been a big contribution to my success. I wish you lots of luck, and I hope you find the program, inspiration, and support needed to have a successful journey as well!
