Before you start working out set a goal. The more concrete the goal, the more likely you will accomplish it.
Do not set a generic goal like "lose weight". All you need to do is lose a single pound and you've accomplished that goal, making it a stupid goal to set if you want to lose a lot more.
The more specific the goal the better. In this regard shooting for 49 pounds is better than 50 pounds. It gives you something to shoot for.
Run your goal by your doctor before solidifying. Your goal may actually be more than you need to lose, or too little; he'll be able to more accurately tell you.
Don't be afraid to change your goal if you find it is too hard or too easy. The ultimate goal is to get fit, not feel bad about it. Keep that in mind and you should do fine.
