Would love to lose all this weight! (80 lbs to lose)

Hi everyone!

I'm very new to this community, and don't have any friends to help encourage me on this weight loss path. I'm hoping that I can find the encouragement that I need here and help me stay motivated.

I have been battling my weight for pretty much my entire life, and I want to just win the battle once and for all.

Please let me know on how to use these forum/community and the Myfitnesspal app to its full potential. I'm not sure how to add friends on it. If you would like to help me, feel free to add me! Hopefully, we can all motivate each other in reaching our weighloss goals.
