Hello. My name is Amy. I just turned 25 earlier this month. I've struggled with my weight for almost my entire life. I've been losing and gaining for as long as I can remember. I've decided that 25 will be my year of change (I also suffer from depression and anxiety which basically controls my life - so I have a lot to change lol) and that includes my weight. I'm ready for this... I think. I'm not going to lie, I'm also scared. I stepped on the scale a few minutes ago and although I had an idea of what number would show up, it was still eye opening. I have more than half of my body weight to lose... that's intimidating.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you all.

Welcome Amy! I know exactly where you're coming from, especially with the anxiety and about half the body weight to lose. This is a very supportive and inspiring bunch of people, so I think you came to the right place. I'm pretty new myself, and I've already felt very welcomed.

P.S. Forgot to mention, there is a 100+ Club on here too, and there are a lot of people there that are facing the same journey ahead of them...you should come over and hop right in, if you'd like!

Welcome, Glad to have you join us. My advice is to look for a Support group, Chat, or Challange to join; small groups make it easier to get connected. Most sub-forums have groups covering almost every need, find one that inspires or motivates you and just post to join.
