Lots of people here want to lose some inches I'd suggest investing in a nice scale to mark your progress and get feedback.
How are you planning on doing this?
You'll find a ton of groups geared towards age, or diet choice, or many other things. Have a look around. Post wherever you feel comfortable. Everyone is welcome all over the board.
Confession: Whenever I had to give any of those "about me" talks in school (you know, where they say "go around the room and say your name, your age, and something interesting about yourself, or whatever), I freaked out too. So badly, in fact, that I HAD to write down my responses and read them. You are not alone!
Welcome! Settle in, look around, find a spot or several, and get/keep going.
Welcome Me ....
Lolaxvegas!
