newbie looking for friends & support

Hi! I'm looking for friends a support system to keep me motivated! I've been overweight my whole life. I've tried losing before with little or no success. In Sept of 2011 I stepped on the scales for the first time in quiet awhile I was shocked and mortified @ 354 pounds. Since then I've made a life style change taking it one step at a time. First I cut out my Dr.Pepper and drink only water now then I starting eating less and in the last 3 weeks I have starting eating much healthier lots of fruits and vegs and exercise as became my new addiction. I'm happy to say the scale was @ 308 today! I have lost a total of 46 pounds right now still a long way to go but very happy with my progress so far .
