If that is something that is holding you back, maybe think about simplifying further to start off your weight loss. Get a small note pad and a calorie counter book (they cost around $7 at the bookstore, I use CalorieKing but there are a bunch of good ones). Rather than tracking on SP starting off, simple stick to your calorie budget by recording everything in the little notebook and adding it up (I'll admit I used a calculator a couple times, my elementary math teacher would be so disappointed ;). The most important thing in getting started is deciding on a calorie budget and then keeping track of what you're eating one way or another so that you can stick to the budget with some accuracy. SparkPeople has a lot of great features, such as Success Stories and motivational SparkPages and SparkTeams, but if it's overwhelming you right now, don't worry about that. Just keep the focus on your weight loss and your calorie budget. Okay, that's just my off-the-top-of-my-head advice, but I'm happy to follow up if you have any other questions!

Congratulations, this is so exciting! I've been reading your other blog for a while and I joined Spark People after you mentioned it, but I find the site a little overwhelming. I have not started my weight loss process really at all, I am still in the planning phase, but I want to get going I just don't seem to have the initiative to do it. How did you force yourself to jump in? Hilary! Congratulations, this is so exciting!

You've hit so many new decades in the last couple years and it totally inspires me. I know you can take it down yet another decade because you definitely have the planning skills and the willpower.
