hi. new to fitness pal

ok i am not really new ( about 8 weeks old). have never joined the forum so i decided to speak out here. i started my journey at my highest weight being 320lbs. i am 6ft1 and female. i would ultimately like to be about 170-180lbs. i have been obese all my life. i was even told i was a fat baby. i decided to make a change because i did not like what i saw in the mirror any longer. truth be told i never liked it i just tolerated it. but it got to a point i actually hated myself and that depression made me eat even more. i have made a change in my life and i would like people to support me. people around me may not understand my views so i dont have much support from my friends especially because i have not told them i have made this life decision. i want them to see the impact on their own. so please i ask for support from here.
