Cool New here and motivated to lose weight!
Hi all,

I just found this forum this morning and it looks like a great place for weight loss support. I read a few threads and I am so impressed with the people here, so many of you have lost tons and tons of weight. I don't have a HUGE amount to lose, about 20 pounds more or less, but unlike most people I am better at maintaining than losing. My big struggle is losing the weight in the first place. I also have a huge problem with emotional overeating. I have put on 3 pounds since Thanksgiving (actually, mostly over the past 3 weeks) due to relationship stress. That relationship is now over and I am trying to get myself out of the habit of eating everything in sight so that I can stop gaining and start losing.

Anyway, I have tried losing weight on my own several times, but I never stick with it. So this time I decided to join a support forum to keep me on track and accountable. Do people on this forum have diet buddies or anything like that?

Look forward to getting to know all of you! Happy New Year!!!

Welcome! Some people find buddies on the "Buddy Up" Forum, or you might want to look at the "Featherweights" Support group- aimed at people like yourself who have about 20 pounds to lose. Also take a look at the Maintainers Forum. Congratulations on being a good maintainer- as an emotional eater, I find losing is easy, but maintenance is hard!

Welcome.

I am an emotional eater, too. It sucks. LOL But I'm working on changing that.

Thank you for the warm welcom JennyWenny, Mel, MissH, and Weightnomore2007!

Mel, thanks for the great info, I will check out those other boards. "Featherweights" - me????? LOL, if only I were. It's funny b/c I am an emotional eater too but for some reason I generally do pretty well at maintaining but losing is SOOO hard. I hate deprivation, that is what it boils down to. I am hoping that posting here will keep me on track.
