Welcome, Matt!
Looks like you are off to a terrific start! I would suggest you start a journal as fast as you are comfortable with the idea. It helps you track your food each day and moods, illness, etc.; a great deal of encouragement from other's who have been there and done that...and from folx just starting out like you and me; a meeting place for new friends.
Reagrdless whether you journal or not there are many kind and experienced people here to help you on your journey to your chosen level of fitness and your chosen way of eating.
Best regards!
