Welcome!! I am so glad you are here! It's nice to have other moms on the forum!

Making small sustainable, maintainable changes towards healthy eating and active living is the way to go. I don't recommend any fad diets/drinks/pills/etc. This is a long but very worthwhile journey. You will learn lots about yourself while dropping the weight. Counting calories and weight watchers are the only things on your list that are good (in my opinion).
Think of this of a change in your lifestyle - your need to not only loose the weight but think about how you are going to keep it off. Welcome to the journey - enjoy the learning!!
