Getting Ready to begin

My wife Heather and I have been talking for a long time now about losing some weight and getting in shape. We've started and stopped so many times and it doesn't feel like we've ever made any real headway. My hope is that by tracking our progress online I will feel accountable to someone and apparently I need that sort of motivation to get me to stick with it. At least, that's the theory behind this. If you are following along, feel free to post any advice or comments that might help us along the way.
