First Day, looking for Friends

Options
Hello, my name is Robert and today is my first day on MFP. I am really excited about being on this site cause I feel like I have the tools I need to finally get back down to my goal weight that I've been working towards for some time now. I am at 338 today and I'm ecstatic because I'm hitting the 100 lb mark soon. 6 months ago I was at 430+ pounds so to lose that much since I've moved here feels amazing. I actually have clothes that don't fit that well anymore just from last summer, lol...I am also looking to meet friends for encouragement here on the site. I am willing to meet anybody but I would definitely like to touch base with some people from out here in Colorado Springs so I can find out some good places to go whether it be to eat or workout or whatever, I'm still fairly new to the area. Thanks and good luck with all of your individual goals!!!

    Welcome, Robert.
    If you are hoping to find folks who are in your area, you can look under "Find Members" under the "Community" tab. You can then search by zip code.
    Congratulations on an amazing weight loss so far - wow! Good luck to you.
