A Shoulder to lean on?

in Introduce Yourself
i am 229 lbs. To some people its not a lot but to me it is. Its the heaviest I have ever weighed and its discouraging when i go to the doctors office and they tell me that I'm obese or when I go in public and I cant even squeeze through a space that everyone else can. Even worse because of my shape its ultra hard to find clothes that fit me...not only does my weight get the best of me but so do these darn boobs and my butt.
I've lost 20lbs before but when the holidays came i just let my workout ethics and eating healthy go...anyone care to lend some advice or talk through messages? I really need a shoulder to lean on and some motivation.
Thank you

    I began using MFP November 4th. I am 5'10 and was weighing 227lbs. I have since lost 22 pounds but my goal is 150-160. I completely understand how you feel about your body, cuz I am there too!

    Woubette, I'm 248 and I completely understand your problem. I try to log on everyday so if you'd like to help keep each other on track it could really benefit both of us.

    I gave up allsodas, even diet. I drink almost strictly water now (before I could drink 2 gallons of coke a day). I count calories (1200 a day) and ride my exercise bike almost daily. That's it...nothing hard or fancy but it's working for me!
