Hello-Newbie looking for support

I'm Zoey. 47 years old with a almost 5 year old feisty little girl. I work full time and quit smoking almost 10 months ago and the weight started creeping on. I would like to lose 30lbs a quickly as possible as I am horribly uncomfortable in my skin. Started 1/6 with closely monitoring my eating and 30 minutes of cardio. I have dropped from 154 to 149 and would love to get back around 125.
