new and need friends

Options
I have been slowly but steadily gaining weight over the last year. I am now 170, battling depression, and trying not to think about the new Doritos Locos at Taco Bell! :) I am very single, 27 yrs old, and want to enjoy my youth! I really haven't done that between college and working.

I'm new to myfitnesspal, but not new to online weight trackers. myfitnesspal seems like it could work for me, considering there is a community to reach out to. I'm looking for encouragement and accountability. I like to write so I will be making use of the blogs too!

Thanks for reading this!

    Hello,
    I'm also new, Feel free to add me. You'll do great and its all worth it. I've lost 17 pounds since mid December and intend to keep it off the healthy way. This is a great site for knowledge and encouragement. Be strong, you can do it for yourself and the people who love you.

    Best,
    Nathan

    Hi Raquel --
