Newbie 5'9 266lbs .... Friends?

Options
Hi,
I've just started using MFP properly (tried it out before but comitted this time!). I've been seeing a health trainer but that just involves tracking my eating and exercise each week which I can do more effectively on here. I'm 5'9 and currently 266lbs (Highest was 294lbs) mostly baby weight but I've always been on the larger side. I can't remember how much I weighed before having my daughter (now 14 months old) but I had a BMI 28 at my first midwife appointment so my long term goal is to get back to that.

Looking for MFP friends :)
