New to MFP, Looking for friends!

So my weight since I was 15 has been up and down like a yoyo, I've hit 250 twice now, and I haven't been less than 220 since senior year of high school when I was diagnosed with PCOS and Hypothyroidism. I weighed about 185 then but after being put on medication I gained weight really quickly because they were trying to find what would work for me, I also lost a lot of hair and went through several other changes. EITHER WAY.

Each year I lose 20 pounds only to gain it back later sometimes gaining more than I lost, well this year I've got a different mindset then I used to have and I'm really determined. My first goal right now is to get to 220, hopefully by graduation which is May 9th. Third week check in is Monday and I'm down 13 lbs now, so that's 17 more to go.

I am eating right and not starving myself at all. I haven't been exercising this week due to somehow straining my knee and I need it due to being in a belly dance troupe, but I feel pretty healthy overall as well. I'm hoping to make friends, I know having people who are also trying to lose weight can be encouraging and we can share tips. So this is a bit about me, tell me about yourself!

I am 21 years old, a College Senior graduating May 9th (as said above). Weight start when I joined was 250, I'm at 237 now.
