Coming out of my shell

Hello everyone =)

I'm 28 yrs old and just started with myfitnesspal about a month ago.... I've lost 12lbs so far, and up until now have been too embarrassed to talk or say anything lol... But I figure it might be nice to have someone to talk to, and I can't stay hidden forever, so decided to muster up the courage to introduce myself and maybe make a few friends here =)

I've been out of work for the past 4 years due to some health problems, I haven't been able to get any medical help and heavily rely on my family to take care of me... With no official diagnosis, I'm hoping that if I could lose a lot of this extra weight, maybe my health might improve.... and perhaps it will help me get rid of some of this depression and anxiety I'm carrying around too..
