Hi Babygirl,
best advice I can give you is to think about why you want to change, make it really clear in your mind and make a decision, a firm decision to change. Write it down if you need to, all the reasons why and then the positive statement of intent from you... "I am going to lose 20lbs and be happy" for example.

Then... read and read and read some more. The stickies and forums here are full of information!

In a nutshell, get your mind right, then get the knowledge to make the changes. The rest is easy after that :)

Good luck, and welcome!
