Hey there!
You can find lots of friends here. You may want to head over to the 100 lb club - a lively, active, and incredibly supportive group of folks who have lost or are on their way to losing 100 lbs or more. They have chat threads where you can meet all kinds of people.
We also have miscellaneous clubs and challenges, clubs based on your age group, and groups based on your plan, so look around, find a spot, and settle in!
Most of all, wherever you post, keep posting. I can't wait to hear more from you soon!
I'd like to be your friend. If you'll be mine
Is any one out there in cyber space? My name is flipflopfloosy. 
Welcome!
