Congratulations Crystal and Welcome!
The first ten comes off usually pretty fast. Then it can slow down a bit, as you loose water weight first. You are on the right track. Keep your calories about 1200 per day, and try to do kind of exercise, walking is great.
Another tip I can give you is to take your measurements now. It will be very important to you to keep up with how you are doing in loosing inches, because there will be times that you will not loose pounds but will loose inches, and that will keep you motivated to see that. I measure myself once a week.

Holler is you have any questions!

Hey Crystal. Congratulations so far. I agree with mommy2cody about the measuring. It definitely helps. Also, you might consider only weighing once a week. If you weigh everyday, and you don't see any change, you are more likely to be discouraged. I only weigh once a week, as tempting as it is to weigh everytime I pass the scales. Then, you get a pleasant surprise on weigh day when you see how much you've lost. Same with measuring. Once a week. Best of luck to you.
