    Hi Diane, welcome to MFP! The site is really friendly, and I am sure you'll find lots of people to help you reach your goals. I've only been on here a week and everyone has been so supportive. Feel free to add me.

    Feel free to add me (everyone). I'm on MFP at least a few times daily. I think I'm pretty encouraging!

    Best of luck.
    I started with about 80lbs to lose. Here are a few things that helped me a lot.
    1) setting smaller goals - 10lbs each - then each time you hit one, its amazing! Its much better mentally, as otherwise you're going for a goal that seems unreachable
    2) having lots of friends on here for encouragement. Dont know a single one of them personally, but they are all fantastic, and give and receive lots of encouragement.

    Feel free to friend me one and all :)
