@FreeDuck,
I'm with Free Duck.
One thing (oh and welcome to A2K, BTW) - get a tape measure. Measure your bust, waist and hips at a minimum and write 'em down, with the date. If you have Excel or something like that, you can keep records and even graph them if you like. Measure once per week. Also weigh once per week and not more frequently as you'll make yourself insane. Just pick a day and general time. For me, it's Monday mornings when I get up. You'll save your sanity this way, plus you'll see progress unrelated to the scale. Exercise is great but it does not always show up on the scale. So you need another way to see that you're doing well.
Healthy eating -- great! But what, exactly? We have a topic on here called Everything Eaten Yesterday. I post on it and so do a bunch of other folks. We're very supportive and no one will judge what you've been eating. And you'll be able to (a) keep track of what you're putting in your mouth and (b) see what people who are trying to lose or maintain are doing.
Back to exercise for a moment -- a little strength training is good, too, as resting muscle burns more calories than resting fat. You need not lift a ton but you might want to do a little lifting. If you don't have weights you can grab soup cans. I have been lifting for a year and 3 months and my triceps still need work but I have rather nice biceps if I do say so myself. And I'm a lil older than you.
Like I said, welcome. A lot of us are fighting this battle. It's a lot easier if we fight it together.
