Recent lifestyle change

Hello all, today is my first day on my fitness pal. I've recently started making changes to my lifestyle. I started this journey by going to therapy. After six months I finally feel that I am worth taking care of. I began changes to my diet at the end of May, my starting weight was 230. So far I have lost 18 pounds. I hope with help from this app and community as well as hard work I will reach my goal of 150. So if anyone has advice or kind words I would love to hear them.

Welcome to the community.
Be kind to yourself. Some days will be better than others.
One day at a time, that's all any of us can do.5 -
Welcome!
It sounds like you've already made some wonderful, productive changes.
As far as advice, I think this post is the single best MFP on-ramp to the basic mechanics of using the app (don't be put off by the joke-y title):

But all of the posts in the "Most Helpful Posts" part of "Getting Started" and "General Health, Fitness and Diet" sections of the forum are worth chipping away at reading, as you have time.
Wishing you much success!1
