Maybe a little support really could help

So here goes. Hello my fitness pal members. About a month ago a had serious discussion with my doctor about the absolute urgency with which I should be attempting to lose weight. And i have come to the realization that I can't do it without support. So if anyone would like to friend me I would really appreciate it.

A little about myself. I am a 30 year old full time college student and part time waitress. I live with my boyfriend who sensibly refuses to admit that I am overweight and our two small dogs who are our children. I would like to meet some people i can share this important and somewhat frightening journey with. And maybe some recipes along the way. I love to cook, and really believe that part of getting healthy involves cooking my own food and controlling what goes in it instead of eating prepackaged crap,

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.
