I am new and really really want to get to a healthier weight

Hello I am new to this site thanks to my sister-in-law for referring me to it and I really want to get to a healthier weight and have learned from the past the more support you have the easier it is to stay focused and to keep trying to get to that healthier weight I have gotten side tracked and have not had the support system that I had in the past in the last 3 yrs and I have had the weight start creeping back up on me and now I am determined and ready to loose it and keep it off this time I liked the feeling of being at a closer healthier weight and I want to get back into loosing the weight but this time I don't want to get side tracked before I reach my GW I want to make it and maintain my GW this time and with friends and family support I know I can do that and I joined this site to get the support to help with my weight loss journey.
