Congratulations on starting the process of owning your life. You're doing the right things as a foundation, reduced caloric intake and exercise. It took you many years to get to this point and will take years for you to get to where eating properly and exercising regularly will be your nature and not something you need to remember to do. There are lots of tools available to you to assist you with this. Use the ones you feel fit your lifestyle.
I wish you the very best....
