I know I can do it!

I came into 2106 knowing that I had to do something about my weight. I'm 5'4 and the last time I checked I weighed in at 200lbs. I recently stopped smoking cigarettes and I know that I've gained even more weight since then. I am determined to lose 50-60lbs. Any kind of advice and recipes would be appreciated. Please feel free to add me as friend.
