3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - Too open in an introduction? Me?!

Does anyone else make friends by sharing way too much information about our sadtimes within minutes of meeting? Always a sign of a good friendship to come when someone starts telling me about their dying cousin on the first friend date, tbh, I welcome it. So anyway, I was crying in my car 15 minutes ago—

Srsly tho, hi, I'm ginkgo (real name is unique and I'm paranoid). Just started personal coaching about a month ago with a goal of 80 lbs gone. Been going to the gym three times a week and trying to eat healthier foods. I made the choice not to look at numbers for a while because I was afraid that slow progress would be discouraging, but uh, then I looked in a mirror on my way out of the gym tonight and then I saw the plethora of buff men who are also working out at midnight (I'd sequestered myself in one of most remote rooms in this strangely labyrinthine building) and next thing you know: car; crying; me.

So I'm hoping to stick around and maybe find some encouragement and people going through the same feelings as me. Introduction seemed like a good place to start. Hi, hope you're all feeling cheerier than I am tonight, genuinely.
