Can't do this on my own

Hi all!

I'm Dani, I'm 25 and I live in East Lansing, MI. I came to the US a little longer than a year ago (I'm from Argentina). At first, I managed to keep my weight (sort of, at least), but in the last months I totally lost control. Now I wanna loose ~20 lb, and even though I'm motivated, I know I can't do this by myself, or I'll loose control again. That's why I joined MFP, and I really like it so far.

The next step is getting a support team! Asking for help is terribly hard for me (I come across as a strong, self-assured person, but I'm not), and I'm a bit surprised I'm writing this right now. So, please, if you understand how I feel, add me as your friend.

Thanks!
