I have no idea what I'm doing!

Hey everyone,
I'm 23 & I've struggled with weight my entire life. I recently got married and I'm so happy! But...my husband is really fit & healthy. I feel like a whale next to him! But that's not the only reason I want to lose weight.
One of my cousins is 24 & had a massive heart attack a couple of weeks ago; like me she eats like crap, drinks too much & smokes. I don't want that for me & that's the road I'm on if I don't curb it now.
I come from a "fat" family; I've never been shown how to eat healthy and how to balance out a daily calorie intake. This is new for me & hopefully I can get some tips from the seasoned participants and maybe even some encouragement along the way.
