new here - looking for some tough love!

I'm new to MFP, but not new to getting my *kitten* into shape. I've been kinda active (gym, sports etc) for some time, but that didn't seem to stop me putting on a crap load of weight. I'm now looking at diet and tracking everything that passes my lips, which is what bought me here.

I spent an hour or two reading some forums on here today, there's a lot of conflicting information online, flat out myths and disagreements that makes it hard to know that what I am doing is "right" - or at least on the right tracks. I'm looking for friends that are going to call me out on my diary, that can offer actually useful help, not advertising some mythical product etc. I don't mind being told that I am doing something wrong - I'm not good at asking for help, but I am good at absorbing and analysing help - and that is what I think I most need right now.

    thanks for the replies so far :)

    i'm still looking for more friend invites. I'm looking for people that tell it like it is, rather than just just offer sympathy and support - as per the subject line, tough love motivates me!
