Newbie in the MFP House

I've been lurking on these message boards all morning and I just wanted to introduce myself. This is the first time I ever done anything like this in my life but I will to try anything at this point. A good friend of mine introduced me to MFP and I find this app darn near addicting I look forward to logging in all that I eat and it really helps seeing everything in black and white to see where I am going wrong. I'm 28 years old and I'am ready to buckle down and get serious enough is truly enough no more diets no more quick fast weight loss options. I believe I've found the place and supportive community to make my lifestyle change a complete success. HI to anybody out there!
