Thanks for all of your input and I think I should share with you that this isn't something I've just decided to do all of a sudden.
I have been wanting this for a couple years and came here because 1. I am just so excited and 2. To find out more info because I'm sure no one can ever be too prepared.
I absolutely 100% know that the toughest part of this for me will just be changing eating habits. Though I've done that Off and on it was never enough to lose the weight, among many times doing weight watchers or Atkins and hitting a plateau and just not being able to move past it.
Again, thank you all!
