One pound at a time

Hello everyone, I am Casara . If anyone knows how difficult it is to lose weight and keep it off it is me. My struggle took off as soon as soon as I entered adulthood. At 18, I lived on my on eating fast food daily. I managed to put on 40 pounds the more I worried about my weight the more I ate the bigger I have become at 220 pounds. I knew I had to do something. So I changed what I eating fried food to baked soda to water, and chocolate to apples. Still I am a 192 pounds still going up and down. I have been on MFP for 2 weeks I have lost 4 pound. I work out hard at the begin but I am found it hard to do it alone. Can anyone help me in this battle? What group can I join to help me eat right and workout? My goal is slow and steady one pound at a time until I reach 140 pounds.
