New to MFP

Hi I am new here and need some friends and encouragement also...I have about 80 pounds to lose and started this new journey because my son has suffered from chronic digestive issue for 3 yrs now. After many tests he was found to have SIBO and carbohydrate malabsorption. Since he had to go on a low carb no sugar or dairy diet I decided now would be the perfect time for me to change my diet for the better also...so far so good. It has been 10 days now and his stomach is doing better and I have lost 6 lbs. ..need encouragement and someone
other than my s on to talk to because he is not doing this for weight loss like me...feel free to add me!!! Good luck on your journey as well!
