new with questions

Hi, I am new to this site. I am starting my jouney today I have tried every weight loss diet fad along with most of the gimick pills lotions and what ever and have come to the conclusion I have to do it! I am a mother of 2 and I have one granddaughter. I am here for the support and motivation and hopefully get this fat off. I have worked around food all my life I know what I am suppose to do it is just doing it that I seem to have issues with. Here is my qustion "How do you add friends to the MFP?" So is there anyone out there that wants to partner up on this journey?
