40yr old taking control on my health

Hello,
I am a 40yr old female finally taking care of my health. The goal is to lose 70lbs over a 35 week period, a little less than 2lbs per week. This may seem aggressive but when not attainable. I have done it before and healthfully with doctor supervision so I am sure I can do it again. The difference this time as opposed to last? I don't want to look back at my children's lives and say I didnt participate in their activiited because I couldn't. I want to be apart of their lives. I also want to be around for all the milestones. If I dont do this now, when? Another day, is a new day. I am motivated and eager.
Encourage me along.

I'm in my 40's, feel free to add me - any of you. I love logging and encouraging others, I'm approaching 40 day mark and not going anywhere. I am not a meat eater for most part, and I am a Nutribullet user. MFP has been so motivating to me fitness-wise so I really think it is important to have friends on here.0
