New to MFP, Day ONE on Journey, Need Friends

Hello everyone! I just stumbled onto this site and have decided to get healthy. I would love to connect with others who have had success in their journeys of weight loss and becoming healthy. Please send me a friend request if you want to help! I'm going to need all the help I can get!

Stats:
Female
Age - 29
CW - 239
GW - 160 (for now)
BF - 62.2%

I want to do this the right way, without all the smoke and mirrors. I have free access to a full gym (thanks to my mom) and will have time to utilize it. Eating right will be a huge struggle until I understand macronutrients, serving sizes and how it affects my body.

Thank you in advance for friending me!!

    My husband and I have been going to the gym and eating better for about a year. I don't understand all of it but our trainer always says burn more calories, eat better and less. That's pretty simple for us to follow. I love this site and how it's opened my eyes to what I was eating. Best of luck and feel free to add me.
  • Thank you for the encouragement! I will need it all!! I think I should have posted this in the "Introduce Yourself" section. My bad!!

    Welcome! You have made the first step and that is joining and posting asking for friends. After a month on this journey, I am 12 lbs down. Each day is a new day! Add me, if you'd like!

    You have done the hardest part getting on here and facing yourself. I too am finally getting serious myself and as you know that's the hardest part. I could use a friend here too. Please add me!
