MFP Buddies?

Options
Hi All -- I am new here and hoping to make some MFP friends. :) It is helpful to have a support system in weight loss. Feel free to send me a friend request if you'd like.

I am hoping to go from weighing 175 down to 130. I was put on some medication I must take by my doctor and gained a lot of weight as a side effect to being on it. Bah. That, and life stress caused me to over eat and I gained weight. Now I'm hoping to start losing it!! I would like any advice or input from others on their weight loss goals/journey as well.
