I work full time and I go to school full time, plus I am married with a 3 year old son so needless to say time is limited.

I say it a lot but definitely check out Steve's posts in the on topic section.
Those are an excellent place to start.
Also my friend on the forum MasterofJune started the journey of losing weight thanks to health problems as well.
Health problems that almost cost him his life which would of taken him away from his wife and daughter.
The point is perhaps you can use your son and your health problems as a motivator like MasterofJune did with his family to get yourself started on this journey and to keep going when doubt, hunger pangs, or tiredness cloud your mind making you want to quit.
You want to be here for your son when he grows up don't you?
Of course you do and I'm sure you want to be in the best shape possible so not only are you there for him but set a good healthy example for him as he grows up of how to live and eat well and healthfully.
Use any and everything you can think of as a motivator for this.
Getting your mind right is the most important step in losing the weight.
Getting a program of eating and exercise you can make a lifestyle change that you can live with forever is the second and final step.
Good luck.

Hello Becky,
I just read your post. I am also new to this forum, but I already read lots of good advise from other people who lost some weight! Did you already decide how much weight you would like to lose? Many people who write diaries here, do many sports, drink a lot of water a day and there are also quite many who write down what they usually eat a day. Maybe this might be helpful for you as well, because then you get an overview about all the calories you ingest a day. I also took some of the advise to heart and I really hope to be successful soon. I wish you good luck!
