new and looking for "weight mates"

This is my first time around. I didn't even know that sites like this existed. What a cool idea. I'd like to be able to connect with some people on the same journey. Started out at 235 - 3wks ago, now I'm sitting at @ 219 so I'm getting there! :)

Haven't really ever dieted or done any official exercise programs before so I'm just kinda fumbling around at this point. It would be nice to have some people I could learn from and to help motivate or encourage back and forth.

Anyone interested in taking on a total newbie! :)
