hi Angalina -

Lots of great info here to get you started - do some reading in all of the forums and start one of the free exerciseplans. Start cutting out refined carbohydrates (processed foods) eating lean protein and vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of fresh water and start walking whenever you can fit it in, if you stick with small changes they ad up and you should start feeling better in a few weeks and seeing weight loss in a few months.

I am 51 years old and I feel like a rolly polly.I have gone back to college to better my my life, I want to be slim and trim when I go up to get my degree. Most of my classmates are my childrens age. I have a 30 year old and a 27 year old. I want to look as good as I feel. I don;t want to hang my head because of my weight. I am a good christian and a mother of 4. My youngest is 12. I feel uncomfortable to meet his friends because of my weight.I also have a 16 year old. I am 5'6 and weight 180 pounds. I refuse to buy new pants until I loose the weight so I wear a lot of loose fitting dresses. I hate the way I look. Please help.
