Introducing Myself and Seeking Friends

Hi MFP family. I have been at this a while and have had an "on again, off again" relationship with MFP. Committed this time though! I am looking for some friends along the way. In case you care to know. I am 38, female, 5ft 8 inches tall. I am a tall person with small (thin) bones so I'm not entirely sure what I should weigh. Been overweight since middle school. Since April I have lost 15 lbs and i'm estimating about another 30 to go (but again, not really sure because I've never been there). I am interested in friends on similar journeys but I'm not too discriminating!!!
Please feel free to add me if you would like some mutual support!
