1. Welcome to the forum.
2. I agree with Wishes, definitely read through the stickies. It's a lot of reading but I promise it will be worth you time.
3. I've helped people who've had much more weight to lose than you. You can do this. It's a matter of focusing on what you want rather than what you don't want. It's a matter of setting realistic goals coupled with realistic approaches. Losing a lot of weight quickly and taking pills are not realistic.
I hope you find what you're looking for here. If you have questions after reading through the stickies, by all means ask!
I look forward to hearing more from you.
