Hi Maya2066!  Wow, you sound really excited.

A few suggestions you can take or leave:

There are some excellent things you can use under tools/downloads.  There's a little guide you can download for the SF plan, and a food journal so you can keep track of what you're eating.  There's also a goal sheet you can print out that helps specify your goals.  I printed off a couple for myself and posted them where I can see them.

For exercising, I find it helpful to take a calendar and write out what I plan to do on which day.  If I'm not specific about which days I take off, they can turn into a long string of days off.  Plus, I can look at my schedule and set up lighter workouts on busier days and bigger workouts when I have more time.

Best of luck to you.  I really like the plan and I hope you do, too!

I have never been able to stick to a plan for more than 10 days.  This time I really want to do it.  I want to lose 40 lbs by July 2010.  I also want to start exercising 5 times a week.  I really need to stay motivated!
