Hey Scarahjs -
There are definitely people here who've been where you've been, or who are there now, and we are all here to support eachother.
What sort of eating plan are you following? We likely have a forum for it, so look around.
You might also enjoy the 20-somethings, a group of those in their 20's losing weight.
Find a spot (or two or three), settle in, and keep posting. Can't wait to get to know you better!
