Hi, I need to lose 150 lbs to get to my goal weight. I'm ready to get healthy and start feeling good about myself. I would like to have a friend to help motivate me and I would love to be there for anyone who needs a friend. I'm here if anyone just wants to talk or needs motivation. We can help each other out

Welcome,

I think these two links are extremely helpful and can help you get the most out of MFP:

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1234699/logging-accurately-step-by-step-guide/p1

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

The first covers accurate logging and some of the tools in MFP to help you make things easier. The second discusses caloric needs and setting goals. These two posts completely changed my MFP experience and helped me be much more successful, so I hope they do the same for you.

For friends you should check out these threads which ended up gaining alot of traction.
