Friends like me

I am 29 years old I work full time and have 2 beautiful children. I am 5' 7'' and weighed in the beginning of the year at 192 pounds. I am setting short term goals to reach my long term goal of losing 40 + pounds. I am looking for friends that have been where I am at or people who can join in somewhere close to my goals. I know some people only need to lose 5-10 pounds and that is great for you but for the purposes of my friends right now I would like people who have lost a lot of weight and overcame obesity or are trying to now. Hence the purpose of me now having a picture posted. I avoid cameras like the plague and the few pictures I have I don't want to use.

If you are interested in being my friend I would appreciate the encouragement.
