Not New but Looking for Support Friends.

Hi.
I'm Robyn. I have been dabbling with the MFP website since I was 15 (because I'm a rebel like that). More recently I have become more serious in my weight loss goals. I think that something just clicked right. I am at the prime of my life, I should be enjoying it!
A little about me:
I have been overweight for the majority of my life. I was average weight until I was 4 and then I pretty quickly became obese after that. I don't even remember being under 200 pounds because the last time I was under 200 lbs was when I was around 9 years old. Because of my weight I got bullied a lot in school. Because of the bullying I decided that I would become the smart girl. Fast forward a few years to high school. When I entered high school I was most likely 290-300 pounds. I don't know for sure because I didn't weigh, it was embarrassing. From my rough estimates of how clothing hangs now at 284 I can easily say that I hit 310 or more by 11th grade. Luckily, I go to an Early College that is filled with accepting young adults that have never given me trouble for my weight. Soon, I'll be entering real college (I already take college courses on a college campus, but it's just not the same as real college to me). I want to be healthier before I enter school.
Cal goal: 1,600 cals a day (I try to get about 60 min of 3.0 mph walking in per day ~ 423 calories burned)
SW: 307+ (probably more like 310/315/320 because I started dieting before I got to MFP)
CW:~284.4
GW: 140 for now.
Height: 5'8
I am looking for supportive friends that actually motivate me. Preferably with a similar situation to mine but I am open to friends of all shapes, sizes and goal weights. I really want to start running so someone with a similar goal (whether realized or still a goal) would be great. I love smart, funny people who actually stay on MFP. It's great for people to log 1,023 days but if I NEVER hear from you then I don't see why we're MFP friends. I love to support others.
Have a lovely night y'all,
Robyn
