40 and trying

Options
I am new to this talking about fitness on the computer with others. I have never had to try hard to lose weight. I was just small. Having a child and not exercising and watching when I eat gave me 70 pounds that I don't need. So I am 40 and trying to do this the right way exercise 1 hour everyday, water and 1,300 cal a day of food. Just trying to stick with it and loving this website. It makes it easier than me writing in a diary. I have been doing that for 2 weeks. I feel better and got of 4 pounds already. Just 40 and trying.
