Hey !! I am starting today too! I am getting ready to goto the grocery store to buy groceries for the week. I've been wanting to start this whole year but due to unforseen circumstances I found myself living on my sisters couch for nearly 3 months in a small manhattan studio apartment that had a teeny mini fridge. I had no room for any groceries and just ate out all the time. so anyway. I also want to lose about 50 lbs. anywhere between 180 and 190 I'd be happy with. Goodluck!!
