Hi, Char! Welcome!
We have very close start and goal weights. I'm shooting for 140 (the lowest I remember in adulthood is 139) but, hey, if I hit a few pounds lower, I won't complain.
For now I'm happy to see each pound come off along the way so I just concentrate on the immediate few pounds at a time.
So, any thoughts to how you're going to approach it? My way has just been eating less, moving more. Moderation in food (too much of it before), moderation in exercise (not enough of it before). Been doing it since January. So far, so good!
You can do it. If there's any piece of advice I can give at this point about those changes you mentioned, it would be that it's okay to start small or make a few changes now and more later. Try not to overwhelm yourself with the idea that you have to make big sweeping changes tomorrow. Adapting takes time.
Whatever you decide on, look upon it as something to live with more often than not.
Hi I'm New
I have to make some serious changes in my life and if I don't do it now I fear I never will. 
Thank you!
