New to this looking for some friends :)

Hey everybody so im 18 years old and Ive always been on the bigger size but when my parents got separated when i was 16 i blew up like a balloon. I finally reached my biggest about a month ago which was 248! That' s when i said that enough was enough and it was time to loose weight. As of Sunday I now weigh 240 and I'm looking to make a life style change. I'll be 19 in July im getting ready to start a career and live some of the most memorable times of my life. It would be nice if I could live long enough to tell my grandchildren about them! So I'm kinda looking for some friends that are taking the weight loss journey as well so we can talk and motivate each other and help each other when we cheat
