Looking for Friends

I am new to the community and looking for support as I go through this journey to lose weight. It has come to a point in my life at the age of 28 years old that I am tired of being a size 16. I no longer want to go to the back of the store to the Plus Size section to search through clothes to find something that I like to wear. I want to be able to shop without going to the back of the store and just pull something from the rack without searching. I have the support of my husband who's very athletic build but I need more support from people who know where I am coming from.
