Ready to do this for real

I have waited to reintroduce myself. I played around with MFP for awhile a couple years ago. Honestly, that is what I did. Then a few months ago, I started pretending to track my food - but honestly, I didn't log things I should have - as if lying to MFP would help me get healthy. But, for the last couple weeks I have been more serious than ever before! Health wise, I was a mess. BP off the charts, heart rate way too high, so tired, so weak. My doctor all but called me a malnourished fat kid. I was not eating a lot, but what I was eating was crap. After one particular trip to the kitchen, I returned to the living room and could feel my heart in my throat. The time to change is now or never for me. I am already down almost 10 pounds, and I am committed to this journey. When I recently made the realization that I had gained 50 pounds in the last 7 years, it cemented my need to make these changes even more. I am looking for friends to encourage and be encouraged by. I want to lose about 70 pounds. But, my starting goal is 30. I want to be 175 within 6 months. So, if you are on this journey too - add me as a friend.
