Starting out...
 

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself as one of the many 20-somethings not quite happy with the weight gain experience throughout college and beyond. I do suffer from binge eating and laziness which I am taking great strides in correcting.

I started Weight Watchers on 3/31/11 and as of 4/7 I've lost 4.5lbs. I'm very happy about my success so far and I know it will continue so long as I stay focused, get active, and rid myself of the binging problem for good. I have been keeping a blog on 3FC to make me feel more accountable as I don't really have a support group in "real life" (no hubby, boyfriend or friends that are very willing to help) and I feel like it's helping tremendously. Only time will tell!

Binge eating...bah. Such a hard thing to overcome. And laziness! Are you me? lol.

Congrats on the weight loss so far! Every bit counts!

Welcome to the forum, hope you reach your goals with us :D

As long as your are willing to keep going foward even after binges, you will succeed!! :wel3fc:

I new here as well, and want to loose 50lbs. I wanted to do WW but its gets to expensive. I dont cook. However Im willing to learn so I can become healthier. Any tips?

We're in the same boat, Rose. I graduated last year, and I am 20 pounds heavier than I was when I first started school. Sure, there was a great free gym. But there was also dorm food, late night fast food study breaks, drunk food, alcohol in general... The list goes on. However, reading your post made me realize that all of that college stuff wasn't the reason why we gained weight. It really was laziness and binge eating. I think it's great that you are admitting your own responsibility. (I need to do the same!) First step to success! Good luck :hug:

Hello everyone! This website looks cool and people seem kind and helpful. I really struggle with emotional binging, and I would love to lose 100 pounds. I had a beautiful baby a year ago, and I want another one, but not before I get healthy. Hoping I can figure out this website!

Thanks everyone! So far I've been being good. Haven't binged since March 30th and my weight has dropped substantially, so I'm very happy about that. :)

Keep up the good work!
