Introducing myself

Hi, Catherin335 here,
I am new to MFP and forums, but not new to struggling with obesity. 3 years ago I had lost weight to 140 and felt great - but I don't want to do it the same way - being in renal failure and on dialysis. Since my transplant, for various reasons, I have gained about 106lbs and become very deconditioned. I want to lose weight primarily to feel and be healthier. Motivation is the hard part - especially for exercise and preparing food - and to decrease eating for emotional reasons.

I am hoping to find some encouragement in these forums. I am also interested in groups - can anyone tell me how to find the groups and be able to see which one or ones I might want to join?
