Default Hello!

Hey, y'all. Obviously, I'm new here, or else I wouldn't be posting this. =]

I'm a college student (bet you can't tell where). I've been through the mill when it comes to weight; I dealt with eating disorders for 7 years before going into recovery, but I got a bit out of control on the other end of the spectrum, and here I am at 5'2 and 160 pounds. While cautious, I'm ready to lose a pretty good bit of weight, hopefully down to 120 or 110, but I want to do it in a gradual, healthy way this time and maintain it. You all seem pretty awesome, and I hope to find a niche here and some motivation to be healthy!

Hi Bama Girl!
Sounds like you're ready to go with a can-do attitude and the right approach to your goals, healthy and realistic - the support you need is here - you can do this and we'll all be here to cheer you on!

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right one for you and get through the ups and downs.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
