New and a bit lost - friend me

Hey there. I'm new to this site, and am unsure of where to go from here. I'm 29, a bit over 300 lbs, and in desperate need of a healthier lifestyle. I have chronic back pain, and have been dealing with depression for many years. I would appreciate it if some people out there could friend me so I could be part of a larger support group. Thanks.

    Hey there!

    I'm no stranger to the havoc that depression can wreak on your weight loss attempts. It's something I'm struggling with right now. But one thing I know for sure is that we can do this!
