New to this, any friends? :)

Hi to whoever's reading this I'm 18 years old and I've been overweight my whole entire life. I was constantly bullied in both elementary and high school, as well as by family. People used to call me fat, ugly, disgusting, all that jazz. I used to weigh 198 pounds (yikes!) haha. One minute you think you didn't gain that much weight, and BAM, your scale reads an extra 20 pounds. Since I'm going to university in September for law, I'm determined not to walk in as that same old fat chick. I wanna be someone new, someone confident (which I am around my friends), but I want to be more confident towards strangers and not worry about them looking at my stomach or what not. My goal is to first get to 165 pounds and then 150 pounds. I'm proud to say that I've lost 15 pounds so far and have another 16 pounds to reach my first goal. I enjoy helping others too. Currently I'm helping my dad get rid of his weight, which I'm sure he appreciates, despite his death glares aimed towards me haha. I'd really appreciate having motivational friends to help me along the way. Of course I'll help y'all too
