Hello! I am new and excited to be starting my journey

Hello to all the friends I haven't met yet!! I am new to MFP and am committing to make healthy changes in my life to become a healthier me. I am hoping to find support here. I don't want to 'advertise' to all my friends and family that I am trying to lose weight as I find that puts pressure on me and I feel I am being judged. The idea of 'anonymous support' really appeals to me. The fact that we are all in the same boat and have experienced many of the same trials helps to. Please feel free to add me as a friend....I look forward to meeting you! And thank you in advance for your support :)
