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.
