Introducing myself

Options
Hello Fitness Pal members! I am looking for some new friends, ideally in Woodbury, MN but anywhere would be great! I am a 44 year old female, 5'3". I have gained 20 pounds since July of last year and never had to lose any significant amount of weight. I have been "celebrating myself" with food since July. I know it's not ideal, but that's what I did. Now I need to lose those 20 pounds to fit into my current wardrobe. I am concerned that I won't stick with this program and be back where I started. Any tips, or encouraging comments would be appreciated. If you can recommend a group that would be great as well. I wish you all good luck with your goals as well. "Onward & Upward" I guess. Thanks!:smile:
