Semi-New with 150lbs to lose and looking for friends

I've been using My Fitness Pal for about two months but only recently started realizing that this journey is not one you want to be on alone. So I started actually adding friends on MFP about a week ago. My life in a nutshell is I've been heavy all my life for example the kids in elementary school used to call me Shayla-mu like the whale Shamu at SeaWorld. Only recently (within the past couple years) did I realize how heavy...I was too big to ride roller coasters at Six Flags, got sweaty and out of breath going on short walks, and weighed more than double what a woman in her early 20's should weigh. Anyway, I'm 23 and in college studying to be a nurse and I have about 150 pounds left to lose. Ahh that sounds like so much!!! But I have to remember to take it one day at a time, moment by moment. Do some of you folks with a ways to go want to be friends and encourage each other on this journey? We can do it.
