40s or 50s Losing Weight & Getting Fit Again in Arizona or Elsewhere?

Hey there! I'm new here to the UA MFP community and looking to share experiences and motivation with like-minded folks. I just turned 54 and a few weeks back decided that I'm not thrilled with how sedentary my lifestyle has become, so I decided to start toward changing that. My starting weight was 258 lbs. with a short-term goal of 240 lbs. Currently I'm at 251 lbs. and my long-term goal is to get back to 210 lbs. Add me if you're also looking for someone to help with staying focused and motivated!
