Getting Healthy (Not just loseing weight)

I want to not just lose weight or just focus on loseing wight. I want to focus on getting back healthy. If I just say I want to lose weight then I feel like I don't want to really try. If I tell my self I want to get healthy then it give me a reason to want to keep trying to get in shape and eat right. Because it doesn't seem like I'm worried about the scale I'm more concern about how I will feel and how much better shape I'm be in. Getting healthy will be better for the heart, simple task won't be dreaded as much and a work out won't feel like a marathon that I don't want to do. Basicly I got lazy and just got where I didn't care as much and didn't think much about it. Once in a while I would. But then I'd give up quickly. So I want to see how much wight I can lose in a year with out looking at a scale. It'll be tough but I think it'll be worth while. So I'm just going to work out like I should. By working my way up haveing to start out at the beginner level despite wanting to start out at the tougher level where I wish I could be. While dineing on healthy foods going easy on the salts. Plus not going back for seconds. For me I need to just stay with one plate. Eat normal but normal serveing sizes and not a heaping size then go back. I'll never get any where like that. I have *129 lb to lose. I detemind to make that happen but in a resonable amount of time and how ever long it takes. I have to tell myself it will not happenn over night.
