Welcome to the forum! like AmyLu said, you will find a lot of friendly and helpful people here. I've been to many websites before, but this one is by far the best, I've only been on here for a while, but people make you feel like you're at home the day you get here, I actually have to lose about 100 lbs also! Good Luck on your journey!
PS: You should check out some of the other forums, some of them are pretty interesting and helpful!
