I started by learning the Kana. You want to avoid Romaji as much as possible. This way, as you study grammar you're reinforcing your reading skills.
I taught myself all of Genki I and working on Genki II. It's great if you have a penpal, friend, or lover who will help you when the textbook can't. Get a trial membership at Japanesepod101.com, download everything, and just listen to the lessons while you play games or do whatever.
I also made a ton of flashcards with Anki and I review those every day.
