Started a week ago! New to this

Hello,
I've started about a week ago on this site and really like it. I think it'd be awesome to have people to support and motivate me and also to see your progress and success stories. I've always been overweight growing up and want to for once not be called "obese" when I see my doctor. I've been bullied a huge portion of my life due to my weight, which has brought me a low self-esteem. I've been dieting since I was 10 years old which is entirely crazy, but I have tried so many out. All seem to fail for me I've finally decided to just simply portion my foods and work out when I can. Any support would be amazing. Feel free to add me! How did you get started and what motivates you to keep going?
