My name is Tyler. I have a long history of weight problems and have just recently discovered this website. I'm very excited and feel more confident having researched this website and everything that can be done with it. Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hi @tylermm62 welcome to MFP.
Judging from your user name, we are probably the same age. I started here nearly five years ago, lost a substantial amount of weight and have been maintaining for almost three. My husband is older, and has also lost weight here.
So this is totally doable, if you continue delving into the site and using it as intended.
One of the best ways to get a good handle is by reading these community boards regularly. I’ve gotten a lot of great advice here, and folks are quick to correct the not-so-great advice, which is also helpful.
If you have questions, post them here. No embarrassment. I’ve asked some doozies and so has everyone else here. For every question you ask, there’s a hundred other users sighing a sigh of relief. “Thank god someone asked that! I needed to know myself!”0
