Hi, I'm new

I started mfp on November 15th and have been really sticking with it, but I'd love to start getting involved in the community! My name is Amber, I had thyroid surgery in 2010 and shot up in weight. Since then I've been slowly trying to lose it, but I got stuck at 185 for over a year and a half, and had given up. Finally I started watching what I ate this fall, and my friend Diana asked if I would do myfitnesspal with her. I decided to give it a try and WOW! It is so amazing and I love it! Now that I feel like I've gotten the hang of it and am sticking with it, I want to make some weight loss buddy friends. My friend Di and I are in our own group called SHH (insert your own terms for the acronym hehe) and I just think the more the merrier.
