Newbie, and looking for friends and support

Hi Just joined on friday Dec. 9, Im looking to lose 40lbs and some friends to help me along and I will help you. I have the app. on my new iphone and have been logging everything. I think this is the greatest thing to be able to look up stuff before you even eat it! I eat out a lot. Im Married with 4 kids and 47 years old. I run two family bussinesses and still running the house hold, although not as well as i used to. Im always busy and this i want to do for me.
