First day on the diet. Im excited, goal to lose 70 lbs in 8-9 months. Its hard writing down all the calories you eat in each meal. I think it will be worth it in the end. I'm not much of a breakfast eater so it will be a chalange to train my body to eat more often and not skip meals. I was eating so poorly one meal per day with chips and ice cream for snacks. Half the time dinner wasn't until 7-8pm at night also which is terrible. Went for a 30 min walk after my husband leaves for work I will do my workout tape. I guess I stated this as a diet but in reality its a new life style. Starting weigh in is 194.5 lbs. My goal is to get down to 125 lbs. So lets do this.

Welcome abroad and well wishes sent towards your goals!
Skipping breakfast & eating after 8pm are not necessarily bad. There are a lot of health myths out there and there most certainly are some surrounding these two!
I'd love to go into greater depth... but frankly, it's late and I'm tired. So might I turn you onto two blogs which have taught me a great deal about health and really eliminated many of my preconceived notions (taught to me by years of reading fitness magazines!) which were only making losing weight more difficult!
One can be found @ http://bit.ly/jbarban and the other @ http://bit.ly/ese-brad
Both authors have Masters degrees and base their suggestions off of published peer reviewed academic research papers and their own experience.
Best of luck.
PS - Don't take too much stock in the activities & exercise calories burned counter, it way over estimates calories burned. Instead, find out your BMR @ normal, use that as your base figure every day and count your calories against it while just factoring anything else above it due to other activity as a bonus. It's the deficit of calories caused by your diet that's going to lead to weight loss primarily and exercise secondarily.
