How I did it: SparkPeople.com was the biggest help.  My family doctor was a great motivator and guide.  I learned the proper nutrition rules and how to change my eating without making it boring.  I let my doctor choose which exercises were best for me and I followed his advice. I blogged on the site daily and became a leader.  Helping others keeps me on my toes.

Lessons & tips: How badly you want it determines how badly you'll work for it.
The right attitude takes you further than you'll ever know.
Talk with your doctor regularly.
Learn that it is not a diet but a change in your lifestyle FOREVER.  It's not a 6 week diet, but a lifestyle change.
