I'm ready to change, but want a friend along the way

Options
All my life I have been over weight and no one knew why until I went to a doctor who figured out I had insulin resistance. He said I was pushing out 300 times the amount of insulin then average and that's why I was over weight. When I was 12 I weighed over 240 lbs. And I have never had the will to change my life and get it back till now. I have a great new Dr. Who has helped me figure out the diet for me and I have successfully lost 15 lbs. With her help, but I lost motivation I felt alone and it was hard. I want to have someone to help motivate me and help me out during this change and that's what I'm looking for. Someone where I can be there for them and them for me.

    Hi, milliebobilly -
    I'm new here, too, and starting to make lifestyle changes that leave me feeling hopeful but a little nervous. I've always used food as a comfort, and I'm trying to move away from that to find support in healthier ways. I'd be happy to team up with you - we could support each other. :)

    You can definitely add me!! I’ve always been heavy and never really understood how it crept up on me. PCOS and insulin resistance has given me a name and now approximately 100lbs to drop.
    I’m a body positive person, really friendly, occasionally funny
